"Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away." Acts 13:1-3

Couldn't this happen today where brothers and sisters are led into and out of various assemblies?
From my time in the local churches, when brothers and sisters are led out of the local churches it gets a bit personal and a bit heated due to the concept the local churches is the end and end-all until the Lord's return.
The concept the Lord is doing things outside the so-called recovery is unfathomable.
