While there may be brothers and sisters whose behavior fits InChristAlone's post (showing partiality towards the blending brother's speaking), but that is not indicative of brothers and sisters meeting in the local churches as a whole.
What if I told you a family I've known for nearly 40 years have no problem inviting former leading ones and their spouses into their home.
Another I've known for 20+ echoes the concerns John Ingalls brought forth in Speaking the Truth In Love. Sure you can send your children through FTTA, but that doesn't mean you're 100% one with LSM. I think for many in the local churches, there is not a better alternative for meeting as the church in their respective localities. The problem is not the message, but men who have yet to be humbled.
Brother Terry, of course, not all LCers are the same. But I am talking about majority that I see in my locality, especially when young Asian brothers and sisters stand up and prophesy at conferences or on the Lord’s Day. In everyday life, they are different people with different characters. But when they talk about God, discuss Morning Revival, or share what things touched their hearts, most of them do it the same way, with the same words, affection, and intonation, as if someone installed a malware in their brains. They are spiritual clones of each other.
