IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT BELIEVERS SUBMIT TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, UNLESS....

Romans 13:1-7 - OBEY THOSE IN AUTHORITY!

[1] Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.  [2] Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God:  and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  [3] For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power?  Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:  [4] For he is the minister of God to you for good.  But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain:  for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.  [5] Wherefore you must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  [6] For for this cause pay you tribute also:  for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.  [7] Render therefore to all their dues:  tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

1 Timothy 2:1-6 - OBEY THOSE IN AUTHORITY!

[1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;  [2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  [3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;  [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.  [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;  [6] Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Acts 5:25-32 - OBEY UNLESS THEY CONTRADICT GOD!

[25] Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.  [26] Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence:  for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.  [27] And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,  [28] Saying, Did not we command you that you should not teach in this name?  And, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.  [29] Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.  [30] The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, Whom you slew and hanged on a tree.  [31] Him has God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.  [32] And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, Whom God has given to those who obey Him.
