Extreme Jesus Freaks Know that it is Possible to Submit to Authority without Agreeing with It or Obeying It...
But They Have to Face the Consequences of Such Action.
An example of this is found in Acts 4 where Peter and John are arrested for preaching and healing in teh name of Jesus. They are taken before the Sanhedrin where they are commanded not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. Their response was, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge." Acts 4:19
Christians do the same thing today when they are involved in missionary work or smuggling Bibles into countries where they are forbidden. During the last century millions of Christians were imprisoned and/or murdered for such actions.
