Can a church save you, yes or no? Luther and Wesley got it right. So true churches and false churches are irrelevant; by attempting to discriminate you arguably reveal yourself to be false. By what measure you measure, it will be measured of you.
In your initial post you mentioned what constituted false Christians, the immorality, confusion, drunkenness, etc. We should indeed refuse fellowship with such behavior. This is not doctrine, but common sense. Lee brought us into his 'true church', where in order to keep LC oneness, we had to overlook immorality, drunkenness, and confusion. As one sister put it brightly, after the latest "move" was announced; "Well, it's the church!"
