Re: Experience about denominations?
The only thing that was spiritually/theologically "bad" in the opening post was the notion of "distance ourselves from" any believer for less than teaching falsely or openly causing division within your assembly. I think that if you read the relevant scripture you will find that nothing says anyone has to be in your assembly (or my assembly) because you or I take a particular stand on any particular thing. Period. (Well, excluding clear heresy as a reason not to join with someone.)
I think it is profitable to be engaged with the body fo Christ. Its outward trappings are much less relevant than some want to make it. Some prefer traditional groups. Others more modern styles. Some large groups and some small. And some like to follow Witness Lee. Without discussing the teachings of Witness Lee, that is not entirely problematic, although following a person is potentially problematic.
