Thanks for clarifying. To cement the point further, here is what Witness Lee says:
Quote:
All the divisions and denominations will consummate in the great Babylon.

Quote:
To form a denominational church is not an insignificant matter, for this is to commit spiritual fornication.

Quote:
Denominational, interdenominational, and*non-denominational churches are not built on the genuine ground of oneness. The genuine ground of oneness is in the Triune God, accepting all believers, and having one church in one city, yet fellowshipping with the apostles and the other local churches. Without such a genuine ground of oneness, it is impossible to build up the church.

To summarize, the Lords Recovery holds a belief called “The Unique Ground Of Oneness”. The Lords Recovery believes that they are standing on this ground, which makes them the genuine church. Any other group outside of them, is meeting on a different ground. These groups are, according to Witness Lee,
committing spiritual fornication, unable to build up the church, and the great Babylon.
A simpler semantic, The Lord’s Recovery believes that their church in the city, is the only real church in that city.
