Yes a genuine church would recognize that it is the genuine church and others are not genuine churches but sects. In the Bible there are only churches and sects. There is no such thing as "other churches in the city". If a church refers to "other churches in the city" it proves that the church itself is a sect, not a church. If a woman refers to other women besides herself that are in a relationship to the same man, it proves she is not his genuine wife.

It would be strange to read in Paul's letter to the Corinthian church, for example, that there is "the church in Corinth" but there is also some gathering of believers within Corinth who also claim to be genuine. Similarly it would be strange to read about multiple genuine churches within the one city in Revelation - no where does Jesus refer to the churches (plural) in any city.

I am waiting to hear from Sons to Glory about whether their church is a church or a sect. If it's a church then there is no reason not to have the Lord's Table there, but if a sect then there is a reason.
