Why did you not address this point?
I have only one Leader, the Author and Perfecter of my faith who is leading me into glory.

And, regarding the process of sanctification, I repeat something I posted in # 101.

Once I went to the house of a couple who come to my local church. I was accompanied by a full time serving brother. The full time serving brother was from Taiwan and had completed his FTTT.

The brother from the local church asked the Taiwanese brother whether only saints from the local churches were going to be with the Lord at his return. And, the full time serving Taiwanese brother replied that it was not true. Just because you were in the local churches does not guarantee anything. It is all about your enjoyment and growth in the Lord.
The brother from the local church had another question, 'then why should we be in the local church?' And, the Taiwanese brother replied that in the local church, you have more opportunity to be perfected.

So, I know for a fact that in my local church, we do not teach that the local church is exclusively issuing visas to New Jerusalem. And, this is true even for the one brother who had completed the FTT from Taiwan. I cannot talk for the other saints in the other local churches.
