This is a fundamental doctrine that makes the LC system tick. It grips people as a stronghold in their minds because it has a certain superficial logic to it: the NT says "The Church in Jerusalem", "The Church in Antioch" etc therefore we must do the same thing to to be a true NT church.

Taking a name. All you need to do is register as the Church in _____ and no other assembly of Christians would be able to register as the same name.
