Re: More on Housechurches(less on House-a-God's)
Gives me the hibby jibbys! You know...there have always been house churches and there always be - but I don't have to go to one and I am not going to one because I have seen how they get off course and start prophesying and then the super spiritual ones try to dominate the younger ones in the faith with prophecy and super spirituality.
I along with my pastor Jentezen Franklin - rescued my youngest son from one that was fastly becoming very cultic. He is well balanced today and leads in a great mega-church with over 10,000 people on fire for Jesus Christ and I am thankful that GOD delivered him from a "house church."

No doubt what U said has/is, also taking place in many of the big mega churches...."super spiritual ONES trying to dominate the younger ones". And I can see where "cultism" could also happen in a house church. Bad things can happen in either.
I am glad U rescued your son, and God delivered him. Are you mean "pastoring", when you say "leading" at that 10,000 person megacurch you're speaking of? Got a website?
As the video said, plenty of folks (like yourself) still prefer big churches that gather at big buildings.
FTR, The thread was not started with intent to debate which is better, but rather only to show making headline national news AGAIN, that many are turning from the "big building" settings to more personal house settings, for different reasons.

Re: More on Housechurches(less on House-a-God's)
My son is in college to be a Pharmacist but really he and his little wife have their hearts set on missions too. He is one of the youth leaders at Free Chapel and leads in small groups. His wife is a model, actress, singer, musician and teaches the Word too.
They are a great couple and have been married 19 months and are expecting their first child in May. We are all excited. We have been a part of Free Chapel Worship Center for 13 years in Gainesville, GA.
This news report comes across like many are leaving the mega-churches and going to house churches. There is simply, not true. The mega-churches are packed and the house churches people wear their flannel shirts and eat casseroles so... everyone is happy.
There have always been and will always be - House Churches, denominational Churches, non-denominational Churches, Mega-Churches, Trinity Churches, Oneness Churches, Big, Small, tiny, bad, good, White, Black, Indian, Jamaican, Haitian, Asian and crazy and cultic churches and every other kind!
To say that the house churches are making big inroads into Christianity is simply just not true. Most churches start out in someones living room or basement and then buy property and build - so - maybe there are more churches starting and someone that glorifies HOUSE CHURCHES just thinks that more people want out of big churches. Whatever! Its late and I am about half insane dealing with a 2 year old for three solid days. I don't even know if I am sane tonight! LOL ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!
One thing for sure...I am NOT going to a HOUSE CHURCH and eat casseroles afterward! ;-)

Re: More on Housechurches(less on House-a-God's)
AB... never mind the casserole, can you imagine the small pool to solicit tithes from in a house church. They probably couldn't afford single appearance from anyone in the Bishopric, right?
