Regardless, it establishes nothing about spiritual authority, unless you are someone who wants to abuse spiritual authority or someone who for some reason is willing to be abused by it.
In other words... no proof text, just subjective interpretation. And you don't give someone rule over your life based on such thin gruel.
As I said in post #27, the Nee/Lee authority model is untenable because it threatens the integrity of the consciences of followers.
For instance, one can not know if followers of Lee follow him because they agree with him or because they are afraid not to. And give the authority model they follow, one can never really know, sometimes not even them.
