How does a "forum believe"? The forum is "an open discussion of the Local Church Movement and the teachings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee". There is no statement of faith, there is no prerequisite. There is some moderation, which is probably greater than it might be due to the litigious nature of the Local Church Movement, but I have never been told what to believe.
If a post seems completely off the topic of a forum on a discussion of the Local Church Movement then it might be moved or even deleted. But please explain this bizarre comment of yours.
Also, why do you assume that everyone on this forum doesn't believe that sectarianism is sin? Galatians says plainly that it is. However, the point most have tried to share is that: judging that my brother is sectarian is not the solution, that is the problem.
We all met with the Local Church, I was there for 20 years. We were hearers of this word on oneness, but we weren't doers.
2Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation
We are in the process of working out a repentance unto salvation concerning this matter of being a judge of our brother rather than a doer of the Lord's commandment to love our brother.
