Brother EvanG I guess it's safe to say that you a one church one city kinda guy.
But surely you have to admit that it's not a dogma developed anywhere in the New Testament.
I guess there's no harm in zealotry for it, but it is a zealotry not found anywhere in the scriptures, or it would have been expounded clearly and precisely.
Nee and Lee made more of it than scripture does. They turned it into an extra-Biblical dogma. It's a way of saying, "We're the true church, and every other is not." It's not unifying, as I first envisioned it, but is divisive.
