[SIZE=1]ZNP post #25: ...First, let me ask you a question, where in the NT does it say that anyone should be under the control of the elders? What is the scriptural basis to say that a church should be under the control of the elders?
...If you want answers from me to the rest of the questions you asked in the above paragraph, then please ask them in a way that does not assume that you know my position on these things.

You have got to be kidding me. You berate me for not responding directly to a question that Terry posed, even though the question was not posed to me and even though I have very little idea about what the basis of the question is (as you also expressed). You say that by not answering in a straightforward manner it is disrespectful. Yet when I asked you a direct question, you refuse because asking "where in the NT does it say that anyone should be under the control of the elders?" assumes your position. Really? I have no idea what MikeH's position is, I could easily ask this question of him. I have no idea what many people think on this question, there is no preconception here.
To berate me for doing what you alleged I did when in fact you did precisely what you berated is, to me, hypocritical. To do this in the very same post is extremely hypocritical. It comes across as being deliberately insulting.
