Another Local Church-ism is "saints". If you are meeting in the LSM-affiliated groups, you are regarded, and addressed, as "saints". If you are in un-affiliated "christianity" then you are a "christian" or a "believer".

From the common useage, you'd think there were no saints outside of the Lord's Recovery movement. Of course LSM spokesmen/pitchmen will deny this, but that's what they say in among the LSM-ites.

"We met with the saints in Ft Lauderdale" can only mean one thing in Local Churchese. "We met with LSM-affiliated christians in Ft. Lauderdale." Nobody says "The saints in the Baptist church in Ft. Lauderdale".
