I understand what you are saying and I guess my response would be agree and disagree.
I believe you have taken the scripture somewhat out of context. True "all" now have access and the wall that separated man from God has been removed. You and I don't need another between us and God, but that did not remove the ministry in our life. I fully believe that there are people in our lives that we consider the "man of God" in our lives. I have a Pastor and as I have said many times that my spiritual DNA is in his anointing. I can personally say that I would not be where I am today except for the anointing that is on his life. So, yes I do have a "man of God" in my life.

I can not. To do so would be to declare that children "of God" are something other than "of God". It would give occassion for incorrect thinking that there is some kind of preeminence among members of the body that God has anointed.

I would disagree one has nothing to do with another if you understand authority. Using a secular example your statement would be equivalent to saying that a private is not in the US Army since he has a Sergeant over him. That's totally untrue and one statement has no bearing on the other statement.
