Isn't the expression "not meeting with" equivalent with "divisions among you". Paul commanded that there be "no divisions among you". Saying that you won't meet with certain christians indicates that there are divisions among you.
I have met with numerous groups that cover the entire spectrum of Christianity except for Catholics. (I cannot recall attending a Catholic service though perhaps I have and just forgot.) Only one gave some kind of test and warned against meeting with other groups. That was the Lord's Recovery Church.
The warning they gave was extreme, Ray Graver in teaching on the Lord's table warned that you could get sick and die if you took the table with anyone other than the Lord's Recovery Church. Ray Graver also required elders to sign a loyalty pledge to Witness Lee.
Then the Blended's as a whole agreed to excommunicate Titus Chu and entire churches because he published outside of LSM.
This is the very thing that Paul commanded that we were to not allow.
