I would say that the NT reveals enough to recognize that a Lord's table meeting under the Form that is practiced by those groups would be consistent with what is revealed. But that is very different from declaring that it is what the NT reveals.
The NT reveals no particular Form. But it reveals enough that certain Forms could be understood as meeting what is revealed. In other words, the way of "doing the table" in the Brethren, the LRC and some others is within the boundaries of what is revealed by the NT. But there is nothing which makes those "what is revealed in the NT" in such a way that they are the way it should be done.
