Cheryl and Kerryn, I think that they (church governments) don’t “get it” because they feel that men (anthropos) must be governed. They must be led by their betters. If men must be governed, then it follows that all aspects of church life must be regulated, even the exercise of spiritual gifts. In effect they are following the world’s model of authority. Never mind that it’s God who gives the gifts in the first place, we’ll (church leadership) decide how they’ll be used.
