A "narrow view" indeed.
The higher the doctrine seems to reach for believers to cling onto, the bigger the snare it becomes. The one-church-one-city idea sounds so good and biblical, so surely it must be the way to oneness. But this forgets THE key thing - there is only one Way. Besides HIM there is no oneness, and no teaching, regardless of how good it seems, can ever replace Him.
