Think about it this way, in my experience, every single pastor believes his church is the best church in the city, the one that can minister to folks and prepare them, if not outright believe he/pastor can get them to heaven*. Why would another pastor believe that the church across town is better than his own and that the pastor has a more powerful ministry than his own? No way.
This concept is bred throughout congregations, knowingly or unknowingly because not only will pastors preach against, talk against and rail against not only mainstream churches, but the dead, dry, boring Apostolic churches* across the city.
Therefore, because saints have been conditioned to believe their own church is the best church in the city, all other folks who do not attend that church are either compromisers, or of a lesser apostolic breed.
