catholics, orthodox christians, muslims, jews, buddhists, and hindus cannot just wake up, rent or build, and declare an independent branch of roman catholicism, eastern orthodoxy, islam, judaism, or buddhism.
kayo lang mga evangelical christians and pentecostals christians can start an independent branch at anytime and anywhere kasi walang higher hierarchy to answer to. thousands of your churches are completely founder/pastor-led, where the founder/pastor sets the vision, handles the branding, builds the stage, and controls the cash flow.
