Saints from different localities can join together. Everyone is part of the one church. There's no law that says we cannot join together from different localities. In fact, that is encouraged.

Neither will an LC brother join with a Baptist church next door to it. And you say it is locaility. What is the actual difference?

Remember that before the Israelites came out of Babylon, they first had to come out of Egypt. They are different in some aspects. But both examples of God's people coming out, to go into Jerusalem. Both examples suffice for the purpose of this discussion.

Oh sorry, you were talking about history? Jerusalem did not exist at all when the Israelites left Egypt.
I suggest you brush up (or better not) on Lee's teachings. According to him, Egypt is the world and Babylon is religion. There is a difference between coming out of the world and religion.
