Loaded language. What does he really mean? This was not just anyone speaking here. He has, by his own admission, referred to himself as one of the "deputized authorities" of the body of Christ. So what does he mean "care for the body?" He was not referring to the saint at your side, or the saints back home. Without directly stating this, he was implying to the audience that LSM, and LSM alone, is the body of Christ.

Of course, neither RK nor LSM would ever teach this exactly, nor put this in their books, but this is the impression, reinforced by many similar comments, forged in our hearts.

Having been removed from these conferences for almost eight years, what RK says doesn't phase me. I can meet with virtually any Christian assembly and have inner peace. I admit it is a struggle when I'm around my family that stills meets with LSM churches. There is the attitude that's pervasive in Ohio's quote. Basically local churches that receive LSM is where the Lord is moving today. To meet apart from these LSM local churches is to meet illegitimately. Not only would you be meeting illegitimate, you would no longer be in the flow.
