Assumptions:
1. A person is mature in the Lord and NOT a babe in Christ.
2. The person is not disgruntled with anyone or anything taught
Question:
Why does a person HAVE TO find ONE assembly and stay put? If there were (let's say for the sake of argument) 5 UPC churches in your area, why can't you go to one of those churches each week in a around robin manner? I'm from a district where I know most of the long-timers in every church. We are all Bros and Sis in the Lord and are basically receiving the same doctrinal teachings.
Are there any scriptures to indicate that I shouldn't?
Why are people called "church hoppers", etc if they do visit other areas regularily?

Hope I word this well.... My take on it is that you have your leadership, they are there to watch over and guide you, it is more about them being able to be a good shepard to you then to you visiting other churches, I think it's totally cool to visit on off nights... we do it all the time, but if we were to 'rotate' our church attendance then our pastor wouldn't be able to watch us as well... to see if we are praying, fasting, worshipping, being faithful....
