Your definition of "practical unity" places demands on believers that have nothing to do with "unity."
Meeting on the basis of "locality" is basically a farce, since upwards of 90% of LC members do not live in the city associated with the "name" of their church.
The blatant hypocrisy of the demands of your teaching was exposed for all to see during the recent Ohio quarantines, divisions, and lawsuits. Christians living in the same city, meeting in the same LC, loving each other warmly for many years
were forced to decide whether they sided with LSM or not! Where is the oneness there?
LSM then sent their operatives from affiliate DCP (
Defense and Confirmation of the gospel Project, what a joke) to assist local dissidents to disrupt meetings and file lawsuits.
The moral of the story: Oneness and locality are merely a ruse, loyalty to LSM is everything.
