You are correct, and this is because there is nothing more important than the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately for Local Churchers, Witness Lee did not feel this way about the historic Christian Gospel, in fact he frequently referred to his gospel as "the higher gospel", implying that the genuine, biblical Gospel was something inadequate or incomplete.

Accusing someone of preaching a different gospel is to say, "let him be anathema". You must be prepared to say that WL is going to hell. You must also be prepared to be judged, in the case LCs are not preaching a different gospel and in fact true brothers and sisters in Christ, according to Mark 9:42. Tread carefully.

The apostle Paul did not say "going to hell", and I don't think you are in a position to say such a thing either. I'm sure you recall when the Lord Jesus told Peter "get behind me Satan!" Interestingly enough, this also involved the very heart of the Christian Gospel - that the Lord Jesus was going to die on the cross and be raised on the third day - of which Peter seemed to be telling the Lord Jesus that all that was not necessary. I hope and pray it will be the same for the Local Church movement - that they will take the rebuke and go on to a more healthy view and practice of the Gospel. I also hope and pray that this forum will be instrumental in this crucial thing taking place.
