No ordination is needed to serve Jesus. But there is a structure that emerged, first of all, with Jesus, Himself, choosing twelve to be His leading disciples.
Eph 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
There's nothing wrong with Biblical church leadership.
I did not mean "wild" or "untamed" in a negative sense. But a Christian, or a Christian movement, that comes along outside of, or rejecting the hierarchy of the established institutions of the Church could be said to be just that. They have not been tamed to the yoke of men, but of Christ.
The context in which I used the terms is from THE VIEWPOINT OF THE HIERARCHY.
I apologize if my irony was clumsy! I am encouraged by Christians rejecting hypocrites, vipers, and blind guides.

I am noticing a certain movement among the young adults of Western Christianity, which seems to be rejecting all of the failed hierarchies, and dogmas, and charlatans, and seekers after wealth, or ease, or comfort, or signs and wonders. Quibble over some of the things they may have wrong in their doctrine, but there is a movement here, and it is toward Jesus. Lift up your heads!
