The answer to the title question is …….NO

 

[LeeB]

Organizations led by men is the NO above. The spiritual organization of The Father and the messiah YES. The saints are registered in heaven and ruled directly from heaven, led by the messiah and taught by God. This is what John meant when he said, “you have no need that any man teach you because you have the Holy Spirit.” This is the invisible church I wrote about. The invisible church has absolutely no need of the pomp and circumstance of men led churches. As I have also written the organization of the Pentecost church was changed by God as described in Ezekiel 34. God did this because He knew massive deception would come by many false teachings and Satanic attack. All members of the Pentecost church are prophets and prophetesses having contact with the Father through Jesus Christ. None of these saints have any authority over the other, the only authority is Jesus. The Elijah to come that Jesus spoke about is not some man, it is Gods Holy Spirit and the Spirit is to restore the truth to those Gods calls and chooses because the truth was cast to the ground by Satans inspired false ministers who appear as ministers of light and come saying that Jesus is indeed the messiah but deceive many people. These saints live quiet and peaceful lives and keep themselves unspotted from the world. They are extremely few in number. So this invisible church is the organization totally controlled by God and Jesus.
