Do you have a "home" church? That is, do you sit under the covering of one or a particular group of pastors? I can't find much in the Bible to support a "covering" and I certainly cannot find anything to support "belonging" to a certain church apart from any of the others.
Every true preacher or teacher has a unique perspective given to him or her by God. It's not wise to limit ourselves to one perspective. That's not what the Bible teaches.
Indeed, Paul says:
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:12-13
And again:
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:3-7
We are all of the Church. So here is the so-called heresy: Limiting oneself to one church is like limiting oneself to one book of the Bible.
