Do you or do you not agree that "men" in Acts 5:29 means "all mankind". If you do, then there is no need to discuss "within" or "without" the ministry. Weather they are in the ministry or not doesn't change the meaning of the word men, the verse still means that we obey God rather than all men. In no way does the word "men" in this verse only mean men not in the ministry. You must interprupt Acts 5:29 as "obey God rather than men within the minisrty and men not in the minisrty".

Saying that "men" in this verse only means men not in the ministry would be adding your own interpretation, and that is not Biblical.
