I disagree to a point. When you are part of the group think, although conditional, you are loved. There is no unconditional love as Jesus' ministry expresses.
You brought up John Ingalls. You could say for the majority of his time in the local churches (25 years plus), he was loved. The moment John expressed any concerns, the love for John ceased. He suddenly became reputed to be rebellious, ambitious, etc. Understand, the moment your commitment to the local churches is anything less than 100%, the love for you cannot be endured.
If we are all to love as Jesus exhorts all of us to, the love will overcome all of our differences.
