* order of worship (vs spontaneous, organic contributions)
* sermons (vs every-member contributions)
* pastors (vs every believer as a priest serving under Christ as our High Priest, and therefore being led directly by Jesus Christ)

* worship pastors/leaders (vs every-member bringing a psalm as evidenced in 1 Cor 14:26)
* tithing (vs Christ abolishing the law, including the tithe, and instead Christians giving generously according to their ability)
