[Sons to Glory!]

I want to comment about whether or not you gather with the LCers occasionally. They are just another group of believers. Every gathering has its own things of the flesh that they cling to, and the LC is no different. Many (if not all) gatherings have this or that they think is superior, that is why we all tend to gather unto our own - a birds of a feather (flocking together) thing. The ekklesia, in spirit is not this way, but it's natural for ol' Adam to do this.

I have no resistance to going to or fellowshiping with any Christian or group within this parameter: that they have Christ in them and there is not gross manifested sin. I participate with eyes wide open, but seek to abide in the gentle Spirit of the Lamb. There must be strength in spirit to not be carried off with this or that (related to some "distraction" the group may be focused on), and instead to stay focused on Christ alone. And I also have become exercised to not judge others in the non-essential items of the faith (as bro Lee once taught). And in doing this, I have tasted the oneness in the body, no matter where I go!

So you have the freedom to attend the LC gatherings or any other, to enjoy Christ with them. I think it's a good exercise, and it took me some time to learn to feed on Christ in various gatherings and discard the rest. Just be like the Bereans and examine things you hear and see prayerfully and with the Word. You have the Anointing . . . also stay in close, open fellowship with some brothers who have no agenda other than knowing Christ.

(and yes, I do have my own "preference" to where I usually fellowship . . .)
