I'm sure house churches would be shut down if word got out.(probably will eventually happen)
The bottom line is it doesn't matter what we know the church is (the people), it only matters how the world defines what the church is, when it comes to law enforcement and legislation being passed. That definition can change and grow to encompass more of the gathering places or any function wherin the people gather, .....it doesnt matter if it is an easter egg hunt in a field or an ok line live stream service....to the world the existing of the church in any form or any manifestation, becomes to problematic for them to allow its continued free operation and this is the facts according to scripture.
