44And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Still looking for a house church where 3,000 souls were added.

the a church growth of 5,000.

And all 5000 ran into the temple signing and praising the songs about their new sect. The same sect that the chief priest and elders hated enough to give a death sentence to the founder. But then for some reason, the big bad Roman soldier came along and razed their temple.

Coadie, enjoy your building-centered delivery system and all the patterns it perpetuates. I am not in opposition to buildings, I am in opposition to returning to the former things, when that which is more perfect has been provided.
