When I first read this I was amazed by not surprised. I am seeing all kinds of twisting of scripture to support certain pet interpretations of secondary issues. And you are right…this is about powerful humans deciding who has certain gifts in the Body.

I was also confused as to what this has to do with the New Covenant where we are all priests in the Holy Priesthood. And where all true believers have ‘anointing’. (1 John)
