This is interesting. Let me tell you about something. Koinonia was kind enough to share this letter from a local church member (he posted it earlier in this forum).
There is a very interesting quote in it which shows that the local church (or at the very least the author) considers every non LC church as being not a church.
Quote (p.2): The Church in Pretoria began to meet in the mid-1970s as the first church in South Africa.
Think about this. With this one statement he claims that all the missionaries in 400 years failed in establishing a church. With this statement he invalidates all the other churches in South Africa up to that point as true churches.
I do not believe the LC to be a cult, merely a denomination (common faith and organization), but things like these make me wonder.
