Aineo-
In no way am I saying that we shouldn't learn from anyone else. I am simply saying that we don't have a spiritual leader, for we are all brothers. None over another. Christ deals with us all personally and He said that He would teach us via His spirit. That we should not depend on any man to interpret scripture for us for the same spirit leads us into all truth. Now concerning the gifts that you mentioned. If you read on it will tell you their purpose and it is not anything that would give one authority as is done in your temples. That is all I'm saying.
I will give you this though, at least you asked what I meant, instead of assuming. I am pleased to see this in you.
