The speciality, Generality and Practicality of the Church Life, WL
These are the six main items of the proper Christian faith. All real Christians do not have any disputations about these items. Some may disagree with the point, one city, one church, but as a proper Christian we have to believe that the church is both universally one and locally one. As the Body of Christ, the church is universally one; as the expression of the Body of Christ, a local church is locally one. This doesn’t mean, however, that a real believer in Christ who does not agree with one city, one church is not saved. Still he or she is saved, but there is something lacking, not for salvation, but for the proper church life. (chapter 1, section 3)

WL has clearly listed his doctrine of "one church one city" as part of the common Christian faith and that any Christian who does not receive this teaching is "Lacking something".

Am I still the only one saying he was a false teacher?
