Not so. I notice that you didn't quote the text. Let's look at the text:
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Jesus didn't say, "it is like I am there in the midst of them". Jesus said, "
there I am in the midst of them".
Sorry, I feel the Scriptures refute your notion of representative presence. Jesus is truly there to participate in the actions performed.
