A church which isolates itself from all other churches and acts as if they did not exist. I3. A church which rejects any authority outside of itself and its own interpretation of Jesus the Kind speaking in his word. I4. A church which rejects any authority outside of itself fullstop. “Disconnected” D1. Totally disconnected from Christ – a branch ready for the fire. D2.
