It is indeed a very knotty problem. In fact, I'm presently personally impacted in a very dramatic way.
About a month ago now, I chose to withdraw from membership in a church because I could not in good conscience accept it's demand that I cease speaking, even privately, about what I see scripture teaching that diverges from the traditional (but extrabiblical) reformed documents accepted by this church.😢
I can and do listen and learn from blessed and unique insights shared by my Orthodox brothers, but I believe they--along with Presbyterians--are in error about heirarchy.
