THE GENERAL CONFERENCE IS NOT THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH, NEITHER IS IT THE VOICE OF GOD TO CONTROL THE CHURCH,THE POPE ALSO IS NOT THE HEAD, NOR PRIEST, NOR KING OF THE CHURCH
Jesus Christ is identified as the head of the body, the Church, which is on earth, even while He is in heaven. (Jn. 3:13; Eph. 5:23; Col. 1:18).
xxi. Jesus is also identified as the King of the saints, the Church. Rev. 15:3; Ps. 2:6, 7.
xxii. The government was to upon His (Jesus’) shoulder, thus He was born King. (Isa. 9:6, 7; Matt. 2:2).
xxiii. The whole world is directed by Jesus who is already King of Kings. (1 Tim. 6:14, 15; Rev. 19:11-16).
xxiv. Jesus is also the only High Priest. Heb. 5:5, 6.
xxv. He is a Melchezidecian High Priest, that is, He has no beginning or ending, He is God as High Priest. (Heb. 6:20; Heb. 7:1-3, 21-24; Heb. 1:8-12).
xxvi. Jesus is thus the only priest-king. He is made priest by God’s oath, and He is king because He is lion of the tribe of Judah. (Heb. 3:1; Heb. 5:8-10; Rev. 5:5; Rev. 22:16).
xxvii. It is the Holy Spirit that alone, on earth that can determine what is true doctrine and He reveals and confirms this to all whom He anoints with Himself. 1 Jn. 2:27.
xxviii. To claim that one is infallible and that he never errs, it to err. Rom. 3:23, 10; 1 Jn. 1:10.
