Traveler & Island...the main unique claims of your church are exclusive authority, and of course, that it has restored the Christian church to fullness. Those eloquent words about Christ as the head, about uniting all God-seekers with their Maker, about seeking God's leadership and ways, not men's, etc...nearly all Christian churches would lay claim to doing likewise. :-) ON a personal note, I don't preach/teach and do chaplaincy because I want to, but because God called me. My church did not call me, nor did it bestow authority upon me. Rather, it recognized what God had already done. Of course, when people claim to be ordained by God, and the church does not recognize what God has already done, then it does become a serious question as to whether God was indeed ordaining.
