Kindred,
Are you even interested in salvation?
It sounds like a silly question, but when you let questionable ministers influence your beliefs, then you put your salvation in jeopardy.
Walking the walk, in the narrow way with the Holy Spirit, is vital to your salvation.
Now, how do you do it?
Power and control is never the answer and always the limitation, because of its own ignorance, lack of understanding and wisdom.
(If you do not let yourself and people grow and learn with the Holy Spirit, then there will never be positive growth and learning, but regression into the unholy and sins.)
Also basically anything of Caesar is not the answer, but a distraction into the superficial.
Walking the walk means following the law of the prophets and the Commandments of Jesus Christ.
It means actually having respect, love, honor, decency, and integrity (in ethical conduct, truth, fellowship of love and regard for people), in order to receive the same.
It means actually being the stewards of the earth and humanity and being that we are called to be.
If you break covenant with the Lord and sin, you must confess, repent and atone; otherwise, you will never receive redemption and have any standing with the Lord.
If you fall from grace with the Lord, you must atone, in order to have standing and salvation.
It sounds like a lot of work, but it is what is required.
