The true ground of the church?
This tiny group of Christian see the vision or true teaching of one city one church. How come few millions of Christian didn't see this point and agreed on this? Maybe one city one church is just watchman nee's opinion or idea or missed interpretation?
God's deputy authority?
If you deviated from wn or wl means you missed Darby all the way back to Luther, you're out from God economy. Who decide one central line of Lord work? Clearly there are many preacher or teacher today have the lights, why must I follow your congregation? Can't we be more neutral in this matter?

To the readers of this post:
The only good reason to be meeting with the LSM affiliated local churches is if you have a vision for the ministry they produce.
For me it's not the vision I have.
LSM affiliated local churches by practice of their prophesying meetings claim all other Christian assemblies are denominations. (Of course in their publications this would not be recognized as one of their practices). Whose to say the local churches are not a denominations? By the sheer nature as taking LSM publications for their talking points in fellowship, they have allowed themselves to have become denominated. What is the denominator? The LSM publications.
The true ground of the church- of course that's they say. What if you have 2-3 other fellowships in the same city claiming to have the true ground of the church? With the Exclusive Brethren, the have the same practice/teaching regarding the true ground of the church.
God's deputy authority- quite simply without realizing it men trying to usurp the headship of Christ to further their own gain.
Who is to say who is God's deputy authority and who isn't?
In practice while one is supported by LSM or full-time support through a local church, they're considered a "deputy authority"? Once that support ends when they fall out of favor, they're no longer a deputy authority?
By that logic being a deputy authority lies exclusively to their STANDING with LSM. Through this you can see deputy authority is a means to an end.
