Mark: “So what you are saying is that Church leaders are not in authority-
let’s see…
Tit 2:15 Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
Does Titus have authority here over the congregation? Paul says don’t let anyone disregard him. Maybe you should consider if you are disregarding your church leaders?”

Kay: “The Greek word ‘epitage’ (translated as ‘authority’ there) is used to describe an injunction, mandate or command. This word does not relate to how we normally think of authority. In the KJV, epitage is normally translated as “commandment.”

Mark,
The English word ‘authority’ is not in that passage.
