Lee's teaching:
Quote:
|
If we are to have the practice of the church, we must take a definite standing, and this standing must not be a wrong standing but the right standing—the standing on the ground of the church, the ground of oneness. (The Heavenly Vision, Ch 2)
|
Nee's teaching:
Quote:
|
No subsequent "joining" is required of him. Provided he belongs to the Lord, he already belongs to the church in that locality; and since he already belongs to the church, his belonging cannot be made subject to any condition.
|
Nee's teaching was that all believers are members of a local church by default, and his concern was just that outside factors would inhibit a practice of localism.
What Lee taught is that a local church comes about by taking a certain standing, as to suggest that local gatherings might not be part of a "local church" even if they are non-denominational.
