Anyone who is not in the local oneness is not actually in the oneness at all. Those who are not in a local church are not truly in the church. In order to be in the church we must be in a local church.

Witness Lee, The Genuine Ground of Oneness, Chapter 10

This is baloney. Was Antipas not in the oneness because he wasn't in the Local oneness?

Think of the OT story of Elijah, living out in the woods when Jezebel was hunting him. Was he not in the "oneness" because he wan't in the "local oneness"?

Since when does Jezebel get decide who is and is not in the oneness? Since when does Balaam get to decide who is and is not in the oneness?

In the letter to the church in Philadelphia the Lord promises the overcomers that they will be pillars in His temple and will not go out anymore. So then, being driven out of a Jezebel run church does not mean you aren't an overcomer nor does it mean you are not in the oneness. On the contrary that can be the experience that makes you a pillar at holding up the oneness.

In the letter to the church in Laodicea the Lord tells them He is outside knocking and if they go out to Him He will eat with them. Laodicea does not control the oneness, staying in that fellowship is not the oneness, the oneness is being one with the Lord who is outside.
