Look at the first century Church. The roles of Bishop, Priest and Deacon were carved out from the beginning, exactly as we see them represented in Eastern Orthodoxy, a couple of centuries, by the way, before the canon of the Old and New Testament was finalized. On this issue Protestants have no argument to make, all they can do is appeal to people's pride, by promising them a DIY independent form of Christianity where no "establishment" rules them but God. It's been a phenomenal success at creating errors (Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. all grew out of Protestantism. Orthodoxy stamped their falsehoods out centuries ago).
No, Jesus warns against people coming in His name claiming to be Him, it's not even primarily aimed at organized religion, let alone a blanket condemnation of organized religion. You speak falsely and senselessly.
