What a joke... The same things? Viola wouldn't touch Post 1970 Lee with a ten foot pole. I'm officially done with you Evan-gelical. Either you're completely oblivious or feigning naivety for the sake of your "argument".
For the sake of those in the LSM denomination or those looking for more information - Please keep posting, they need to see your "logic" and "truth"

Yes they said the same things.I quoted them word for word, page 285,286 in the book.
Look I'll quote it again, where they say denominations are sectarian and divisive.
The early Christians did not divide themselves into various
denominations. They understood their oneness in Christ and
expressed it visibly in every city. To their minds, there was only
one church per city (even though it may have met in many
different homes throughout the locale). If you were a Christian
in the first century, you belonged to that one church. The unity
of the Spirit was well guarded. Denominating themselves ("I
am of Paul," "I am of Peter," "I am of Apollos") was regarded
as sectarian and divisive (see 1 Corinthians 1:12).
The book also has an endorsement of the one church per city model as contained in that paragraph I just quoted.
