UntoHim, this goes back to what name you take for your church. For example just because you call your assembly the Church in ____, does not make it so. Suppose where you live there is not the Church in ______, you go through the proper channels to register as the Church in ______, but in reality it's a home assembly that doesn't need to go through the steps of "taking a name". However because you did register as The Church in _____, in one swoop you're declaring you are the local expression of the Body in your locality.
