Or......"There was a person named Trapped. They grew up in an LC family, they were born into the LC (they were baptized in the LC meetings), and their parents hope they will continue in the LC (and continue in all the teachings, traditions, and practices thereof). And there we have a denominational situation."


In fact, the phrase "the church" is how the LC denominates themselves, particularly internally. If you are with a group of LC saints talking about a new one, or a family member, or another person, the common question will be: "Do they meet with the church?" or "Are they in the church?" (meaning in Witness Lee's local churches). The fact that the generic phrase the LC's use to denominate themselves is just "the church" does not make it any less a denominating factor.
