OK, maybe we're getting somewhere here at last.

How is "live and let live" a denial of "the local ground teaching" as articulated by Norm as "we see the oneness of all the believers in this city"?

Isn't he essentially saying, we live and let live because we are all one assembly here?

Norm, correct me if I've misunderstood you.

I mean, isn't it at least preferable if not incumbent upon all the denominations in an area to emphasize interdenominational activities over celebration of divisive doctrines?

That's clearly not the Local Church definition of localism, of course, but if the Jews in Corinth only meet with the Jews and the Greeks in Corinth only meet with the Greeks, does Paul err if he writes "to the assembly of God which is in Corinth"?
