Slap your neighbor and say, A Church is not a Church because the People are the Church and a House is not a Church unless the House Church People say it is! AMEN! We all get it now!
Don't it just make you want to run from anything called a CHURCH and go a little house that is called a House Church where you can wear house shoes (or "no shoes" for that matter) and read the Bible and drink coffee and eat goulash and talk about those deceived people that go to buildings that are called CHURCH and how much better we are than them and teach them to STOP TITHING!
GO HOUSE CHURCH PEOPLE! GO! It just seems so exciting!

Actually, this is what everyone has been saying all along, which you have been ridiculing. The building is NOT the church. It is the people. Hence, whether they meet in a mega-building or in a little house, it's still CHURCH.
The emphasis being laid on house-church is that it is easier to get edified in a little group than in a large mega group. Everyone in a "little group" is able to participate during fellowship unlike in mega-churches where one just sits down and drinks from one person standing to talk. Simple as that...
