Depends who has the genuine lampstand so I don't think a local church member would take the table with another group if they are not genuine lampstand. If God told your leader to start the lampstand in the city then we should fellowship there so it depends if you have the lampstand or not?
A feature of a genuine lampstand is that each lampstand is identical in appearance. Can we say that the Church in Scottsdale is of the same appearance and same shining as other local churches? What is the dominant expression of the church, is it evangelical, free/brethren, pentecostal, liturgical ? etc. Does it consider itself the genuine church in the city?
One question - do you consider "the Church in Scottsdale" to be "the genuine church in the city"?: Or do you see it as just one of many genuine churches in the city. If it's like this it not shining the same light as other local churches.
