The Government of God has the Father at top and next Jesus who is the Head of the Church of God on Earth. Jesus selected 12 Apostles or called out or one sent to begin the Church throughout the world. Various Elders, Bishops or Overseer, Evangelist, Deacons, etc... developed as the Church grew in numbers.

1 Timothy 3:1-12New King James Version (NKJV) 1 Timothy 3

Qualifications of Overseers

1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop,[a] he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,[b] but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Qualifications of Deacons

8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. 11 Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Is scientology hierarchical or autonomous?

The Church of Scientology organization is hierarchical -- there are no recognized autonomous congregations, by design. However, considering that the Church considers anyone who has taken a Scientology or Dianetics self-improvement class to be a Scientologist, only a minority of the official membership is actually actively involved in a Scientology group or organization. And quite a few more consider themselves Scientologists but do not check in regularly. So you could say their organization is hierarchical but their membership is mostly autonomous.


Is Bahai autonomous or hierarchical?

The Bahá'í Faith has a hierarchical administration: elected groups of people, one at the international level (the "Universal House of Justice"), one for every country, or in some cases other kinds of regions (currently called the "National Spiritual Assemblies"), and one in each city or town where there are 9 or more believers (the "Local Spiritual Assemblies"). I am not sure what you mean by "autonomous". The Bahá'í Faith is certainly not a branch of another religion; in this sense, it is independent, with its own laws, its own administration, etc.
