There may be many groups this fits, but since this forum is Local Church Discussions, my focus is on Local Church corruption. The distorted oneness is one based more about being political than scriptural. Brothers who are more scriptural than political find themselves being quarantined. They're not for a man and his ministry, so these brothers cannot be trusted to be "one with the brothers". That means in application, to be political.
Brothers like Mario Sandoval and Steve Isitt have sought scriptural means to be reconciled with brothers. Though not officially quarantined, were simply unwelcome to meet with any local church due to politics.
