I was asking from LSM perspective, I'm sure you have the answer.

The LSM perspective and the Biblical perspective are two very different concepts.

Evangelical is willfully blind to many discussions we have already had.

1. Apostle Paul wrote to "all who are in Rome" (Rom. 1.7), but later in the book he greets Prisca and Aquila and THE CHURCH in their house. (16.3,5) These verses show that there is no ONE TRUE CHURCH meeting as he supposes in every city. According to him then, Prisca and Aquila's house must be THE ONE TRUE CHURCH, but the rest of the believers in Rome, many of whom were mentioned by name in ch. 16, are not THE CHURCH.

2. Apostle Paul wrote to "the saints in Colosse" (Col. 1.2) yet also sends his greetings to "THE CHURCH in the home of Nymphas." (4.15) If Nymphas house church is the ONE TRUE CHURCH in Colosse, then Paul does not consider all "the saints in Colosse" to be a part of THE CHURCH. One can see the Pandora's box of biblical difficulties he opens up with his insistence on THE ONE TRUE CHURCH having one and only one address in every city in which to meet.

Could someone please point me to the starting point where this thread could be split off? I do under stand that some of the matters being discussed are loosely related to the "the Bible Answer Man" converting to the Eastern Orthodox Church, but for the sake of our readers let's try to tighten this thread up.

Thanks.

From the LSM perspective, you drive to the nearest locality. Suppose you live in Yakima, WA you'll have to drive nearly 45 minutes to Prosser or Tri-Cities for LSM affiliated fellowship unless you decide to stay home for fellowship instead of meeting with a local assembly.
Certainly there are other parts of the United States with similar circumstances. In the past it was even more extreme due to fewer localities.
In the mid-80's when I was a teen, there was only one locality in Southern California counties of Riverside and San Bernardino. It was common for ones to leave their local communities to drive 30 minutes or more for a LDM.
