How do you come to, for example, a large city like Los Angeles or New York City and determine from the hundreds, probably thousands, of gatherings there whether one of them is the genuine church in that city already (or any city)? I know you will set aside any denomination, but there are still many, many gatherings of believers not connected to denominations.
