It comes down to the fundamental question - are we in charge, creating "order", or is He? To say that "He is in charge" does not mean that there aren't leaders and "order." But to say there "needs to be order and therefore there must be leaders" is to skip over His role in how it all plays out.

LSM is a publisher they are not a church. For them to have more than one publishing house might be confusion. For a church to embrace a ministry is not unscriptural. But for a ministry to argue that a church cannot embrace any other ministry but theirs is to my understanding of the NT a gross overstepping of their authority and jurisdiction. The "church leaders" should never have submitted to this rule.
