Antinomianism

An extreme belief that church officials misuse the grace of God to excuse sin and should be disregarded. The belief of salvation through grace alone as the only requirement for salvation, with an additional rejection of religious authority that dictates moral or traditional standards. Antinomianism leads to the support of "lawlessness" in disobeying religious authority which is in direct opposition to the expressed will of God to obey the leaders  He has placed in authority over others.
