Thank you UntoHim for this response. I totally agree with you and I am not promoting the "taking of the ground" as practiced by "The Local Churches". But If we all will be honest in looking into the Word and the practice of the early church as recorded there...do we not see all the believers in each of those cities spoken of referred to as to "the" church and not churches.

I know that the way this has been practiced by many followers of WL has been very wrong. And I will say this.......The presense of the Lord is with His people in many gatherings of believers who are not "Local Churches". I am blessed to have wonderful fellowship with dear brothers who would be condemded as being in one the the great whores daughters.

I currently felllowship with some "outside" of the LSM local churches and am certainly fed by the Lord with them. Still.....the Word of God is and will always be the Word of God. Iregardless of others mistakes....the word is a shining light. What others have done does not negate the truth of the Word. I see all the believers in those cities where the gosple went under the apostles referred to as the church in wherever city they were. There are no denominations recorded in the NT....only the church in Corinth, the church in Jerusalem, the church in Antioch etc. The Word is the final authority...not me...not you....not anyone.
