Rules that are called principles, but that bring dire consequences if not followed closely.

I thought that part of your dogma was that Christ abolished the law. Yet here you are adding to the commands about forms and protocols.
What are some of these protocols?
  • Submission to authority?
  • Blind obedience?
  • fellowship for college?
  • fellowship for who to date/court?
  • fellowship for career?
I'm sure there are many more such as where to live. I'm not making this stuff up, I've heard it all. So many more guidelines, protocols, etc that's expected to be adhered to.
