Are we really New Testament Church???

Acts 2:42-47

42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.

44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,

47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
-------------------------------------------

The church I attend claims to be a real New Testament Church.
I see some "New Testament" activity, but not all of it as I read about in the book of acts.

Traveling across the prairies some years ago I was invited to visit a few
Hutterite Colonies in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They seem to follow verses 44-47 very closely. They meet every day for meals, they worship daily and share all they own together.

The question is: Why do we follow some New Testament scripture, but not all of it??

Why do one thing and not the other thing. And where do we draw the line?
