I do not view an apostle as having some kind of intermediary authority. If the Lord sends someone out to do a task, then they have been sent with whatever authority is necessary to accomplish that task because their head is covered with the Lord's authority. I sat in Houston and listened as RG shared on and developed his theories on WL being the MOTA. I listened with respect that I think was due to RG, but I was always somewhat bemused at what the "great revelation" he felt he had was.

So what authority was necessary to teach the Bible and the Life Study trainings? I don't believe God would ever give someone the authority to silence their critics, the Lord said that if they treated Him this way they would treat us worse as the servant is not above the master. Paul was always dealing with critics. So in my mind RG's teaching was irrelevant. Regardless of what is what, WL's teaching would never be elevated to the level of scripture, that thought was never even contemplated by me until I heard it on this forum. Therefore, I continued to treat WL as I had prior to RG, I wanted to learn how to read the Bible for myself, when he shared on a verse I went to the verse to see if I could get into it. LS Trainings were an excuse to focus on one book of the Bible for a few months.
