I agree with you and Thankful about this issue of holiness and I would add to that love as you have done in the above quote. In the LC these two virtues were sacrificed on the altar of the doctrine of dirt. Anything can happen as long as we are "meeting on the ground" - a wholly positional stance without regard to the condition of the assembly. The Lord in Rev 2-3 repudiates this when he starts judging the churches based on their condition and threatens to remove their lampstands if things didn't change. I hope someone in the LC gives a message one day about
: Meeting on the Ground Without Being a Lampstand!
