Kaung just flat out rejected the ground of the church teaching by Brother Nee.

It was not Kaung, but Nee who departed from Nee's own teachings of the local ground after Nee was released from his disciplinary excommunication by the elders of the church in Shanghai between 1942-48. Upon his "Resumption" Nee immediately set aside all "local" principles and established the "Jerusalem Principle" of centralized authority over all the member churches. Since his new endeavors needed an inrush of manpower and money, he promoted the demand for all "loyal" members to "hand over" all of their resources to "the" ministry, loosely basing this on Acts 4.34-35.
