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.

There is no rule that bread and wine be used for communion. But everyone does it, why? Because they know that's how Jesus did it. Now I'd like to see you suggest or propose that you use something different in your next communion, and you can tell everyone "folks, it's okay, there's no rule about it, as long as we pass around some food and drink and remember the Lord it will be okay".
In the same way then, we follow one church per city. Because we know that's how they did it. And we believe how they did it was how God told them to do it.
