What determines the local ground? Where I live there is no Church in _____. There are community churches, _____ Bible Church, etc. Hypothetically, I would need to blend with the local church in the community where I live. In the past brothers and sisters who live in cities/towns where there is no Church in _____, they will drive 20-30 minutes to the nearest Church in _____. Those that observe the ground of locality, wouldn't that be denominational? A claim to meet on the ground of locality, but one won't meet with Christians in one's community. To really practice on meeting on this ground of locality, one would need to set aside concepts and ministry preferences and meet in the community one lives. Anything other makes the local ground a sectarian practice.
