The whole idea seems a bit off. The title itself is an oxymoron. Think about it.

Christian anarchist.

Christians follow a set path. Anarchists don't. How can you conform to the standards of a religion but yet not conform to any standards at all?

As far as the argument of using the word of the Lord as your guide, I ask - whose version of His word will you be following? Will you be reading the standard Bible or a protestant King James version? Or will you be using the NIB - New International Bible? What about the mormon version with its follow ups? Or the one the jehovas witnesses claim is the real translation? Which translation does a Christian without any affiliation follow? See, depending on which one you choose - you have already chosen a sect, a path, which is against the idea of being Christian anarchist without engaging in such.

In fact, by choosing any of those, then claiming you are not following that groups teachings or methods, you have just become an evangelical - a protestant who has created yet another new sect - something we see in America every few months.
