The practical expression of that ,the local church, should look the same as the spiritual reality. Nee writes in his book "God prizes the inner reality, but He does not ignore its outward expression. ". That is, we cannot ignore the issues of denominationalism and division, neither should we simply stay at home and have "spiritual fellowship".
