Is a teacher or preacher in a fellowship the ultimate authority? If not who/what is? What and Who is the absolute authority in the Church, the only one we have?

What doesn’t it end in deeper, more mystical relations with the Spirit of God and the Heavenly Father? Maybe with spiritual experiences happening, tinglings, having visions and miracles etc. Is there is a reason why we are left on this earth after we are saved, rather than being taken straight to Heaven in new immortal bodies?
