(1)As soon as a person meets authority, he will look for authority everywhere. The church is the organ for the training of Christian submission to authority. In the whole world there is no such thing as submission. But a Christian must learn submission. He must, moreover, submit from the heart, not just in an outward way. Once a person learns submission, he will look for authority wherever he goes.

(4)Those who have met authority will have their mouths shut. They will be restricted. They will not dare to speak carelessly, because they have the consciousness of authority with them.


This book by Nee has also been read in UBF, and someone in another forum called the book "Spiritual abuser's How-To Guide".

Those two points are the ones which I consider most questionable: if you're a genuine Christian, you'll start looking for someone who can control you and you should do whatever they say without contradicting...
