Yes! That is what I believe too and why faith ought to be kept at the "personal level"...

When faith is kept to a personal level, I think it can actually address the lust for power and wealth, and humility will surface in the individual's life. But when faith is used as a justification to strive for dominion and to validate itself by making sure it is followed by others, then it is not any where near what I see of Jesus.
