One more thing, he believes that Christianity has been degraded.

The so-called degradation of Christianity springs from remnant theology. All exclusive systems successfully use it it convince their loyal followers that they alone are are "faithful" to the narrow way.

Distorted oneness is a common theme used by them all. They promote a system of oneness teachings that supposedly only they can achieve. Part of it is in the name, as if the NT provides a unique name for the one true church. Hence church in LA is good, while "the church of God in Christ in LA" is a degraded denominational division. Likewise the "church in LA, Hall One" is good, but the "First Church in LA" is bad.

In reality, a church's relationship with LSM decides her status as healthy or degraded. The true condition of the church means next to nothing. Whether or not the church uses HWfMR means everything.
