Mark,
If correcting error is not hierarchy, then Paul’s giving Timothy the authority to use his name to stop the error cannot be considered hierarchy. Paul wasn’t taking authority over people but authority over error and false doctrine.

It appears that you don’t really understand what people here are coming against. I suggest you read this post http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/01/22/the-husband-as-king-over-the-wife/ to see the comp teaching of prophet, priest and king position of the man. The position that I refute is a common comp position even though it may seem shocking to many. The place of “prophet, priest and king” follows the man into the leadership of the church as he takes authority over other Christians who become under his leadership authority.

More later.
