Yes, I'm Baptist. Yeah, an independent church would be free to do what they want to do and would not have to answer to anybody. It is similar to each McDonald's building has to comply to the McDonald's headquarters. The Salvation Army, Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, different groups, are centralized like that.

Hive account@joeyarnoldvn, I don't know about the organization of the McDonald's headquarters and branches.😄

I just want to know whether the independent churches in America are orthodox or heretical.😦
I think Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are heresy!

I am a Presbyterian in South Korea.
