I suppose then you would be okay with replacing the communion wine (or grape juice) and bread, with peanut butter and kentucky fried chicken? There is no rule about that.
I suppose then you would be okay with replacing the baptismal water with a bucket of sand? There is no rule about that either.

This is where you get a little crazy. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." There is no verse that says every Christian in town must be under one eldership and ministry.
The Bible also says "repent and be baptized every one of you." This is why all Christians teach and practice baptism. The Bible mandates it.
There is more scriptural basis for head-covering and communism (all things common) than there is for your brand of "practical oneness."
Sorry, Evan, but you have been sold a bill of goods. Ask any believer.
And, in regards to the breaking of bread, there is no scripture that demands bleached white flour be used for the bread, as LSM insists on. Bleached flour was not invented until the late 19th century, just in time for the Recovery to reach China, and obviously no church in history has
ever broken bread properly until Nee and Lee came along.
