Yes, but yours is just another alternative. Yours is the Witness Lee alternative.

As believers we are "the church" are we not? For example, if our bodies were cut into 4 parts and sent to different places, they would still be "us".. Similarly, one group here and one group there are all the church. But dename-iations are really taking away the focus that we are all the church.

Yes, as believers we are "the church." But "the church" is not your group.

You are saying it is presumptions to claim to be the true local expression and on the other hand you say the church is believers. But if we are believers are we not also the true local expression?

If there is even such a thing as "the true local expression," you can only be a part of it. Because you are a
part of the church. Your group cannot be "the church" because "the church" is not your group.
