If they concoct some non-negotiable principle which the rest of the Body fails to live up to (MOTA, VOTA, local ground, gospel of the kingdom, God's economy, whatever), then they can excuse themselves from the inconvenient business of having to maintain fellowship with the rest of the Body.
This is basically what they are doing. It's all just an excuse for playing in their own comfortable little sandbox, while pretending it's the only sandbox around.

This is a much better focus, is it a matter of the faith to receive some brother as "MOTA" or "The Apostle", etc. If I refuse to receive Paul, or Peter, Or James or WL as "MOTA" is that a basis to cut off fellowship? Is this a matter of the faith?
To me that is clear for all genuine Christians that this is not a matter of the faith and it is not a basis to be divisive. If a church doesn't want to receive LSM publications is that a basis to cut them off? Absolutely not. It is not a matter of the faith.
If a church does not want to attend LSM trainings is that a basis to cut them off? Absolutely not, it is not a matter of the faith.
