An institution is a dead thing, an inanimate thing, a building even. Whose duties and properties and bank accounts are inherited by new people when the old ones die Who is to say whether the people there are any longer, after many many years, endowed with the graces of God Himself? Or that the leadership who is in control of the organization is? The Pharisees sat in Moses' seat. Were they as faithful as Moses was? God is a spirit, a living thing, people are living things. A club that has existed for a long time can change over time even if it is the original club.
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
