Unfortunately, the LCers believe the more individual saints sacrifice themselves the more the body will be built up. Simply speaking, a wrong causation.
Ephesians 4:16 From Him the whole body is fitted and held together by every supporting ligament. And as each individual part does its work, the body grows and builds itself up in love.

In principle this "Body of Christ totalitarianism" is very similar to Fascism, Nazism, and Tenno totalitarianism (in Japan). They thought their nations are superior to others (elitism, eugenics), took the measure of raging war with others (aggressiveness to other Christians).
