You:
I would like to say connecting fleshly lineage is not important
as obeying the Word.  If I am a hypocrite because I can't present a
document to someone that says I am a " Blue blood pentecostal '
from A.D. 35 then all christianity is in trouble.

Bro. Paul:
2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others,
epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living
God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 

4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of
ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the
letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life. 

What kind of letters are YOU sending into the world?

As for where *I* get my Spiritual gifts and authority, the ONLY authority a
man can have, to DELIVER the Word of God:

2 Peter 1
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye
take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation. 

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men
of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Now.  I don't prophecy with EVERY breath *I* breath but when I, or any man
prophecies THESE days, it is with the Holy Ghost IN him instead of ON him
and with more certainty.
