Yet, whatever you believe you make the assumption that a true ground of oneness would result in reconciliation with everyone regardless of the ground they stand on. Of course, that cannot be true. If one is not standing on the ground of oneness then they will not be in the fellowship of oneness because they exclude themselves.

Nothing personal, my friend, but based on every event I have witnessed and studied in my 30+ years inside the LC, and almost a decade outside the LC since I left, this conclusion of yours is
pure and unadulterated gobbledygook, which M-W defines as "
wordy and generally unintelligible jargon." It may make sense to you, but not one instance provides it with the stamp of validity. Take your explanation of events to a thousand learned Christians on the street, and not one will understand what you are talking about.
No one has ever excluded themselves from the fellowship because they were
not standing on the ground of oneness. It just has not happened that way.
