In any event, whether you or I agree with that or not, I'm simply saying that LC people do exactly the same thing that Lee condemns in his interpretation of "I am of Christ" when they "we are just the church (and you're not)."

OK. Agreed.

This topic faced me head-on during the recent quarantine of TC. The Blendeds forced us all to decide whether we were of TC or WL/BB. Why did I need to choose sides? I am of Christ! I dont need to choose between ministers! But, of course, that option was not made available to me! So I left.
