What you call "fellowship" is not fellowship, but control and manipulation. In the mind of a Blended "Doing his own thing" is what every minister in the world is doing. Like Phillip Lee before them, these Blendeds wanted Titus Chu to speak when they told him to, speak what they tell him to, and then to report back to HQ for a humiliating "dress down." Sorry ...
Drake ... it was not going to happen. Not with TC.
Why do you give Paul, Luther, Darby, Nee, Lee (
and the rest of evangelical Christianity) the right to set their own schedule, minister according to the anointing Spirit, and pioneer new territory -- but not Titus Chu. I am not defending everything TC does or said, but his ministry was far closer to the Bible than any of you Blendeds, who only repeated Lee's messages, which were filled with much leaven. I applaud him for standing up to an abusive publishing house / controlling headquarters. In like manner, the entire N.T. records Paul standing up to Jerusalem and the Judaizers.

These things and the others mentioned in #117 changed the standing of the local church. At that point, those who objected to all these things were told they should leave.

Missions offerings and tithing "
changed the standing of the local church?"
Seriously?!? What happened to having the "right name?" And what about all of LSM's boondoggles like Daystar, Lin Ko, and Little Bankers fleecing the LC's? The saints in Mansfield had no right to support a missionary work in Uganda? I guess that was not on LSM's approved "Giving List," which includes BFA, DCP, LME, GTCA, FTTA, and dozens of others.
The real problem here is that LSM allows no such liberty to others for the very things they do. Apostle Paul faced the same demands during his entire ministry. He concluded, "
Stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has set you free."
