Please explain what you mean by "house church" doctrine?

Posted by David (Member # 1) on :

Yes it really depends on what you think it is. There are many wonderful house churches. Which in my opinion are closer to a real church then the Institutional Churches.

Whether you meet in a house or a Church, what is the most important is that you are hearing the truth of the Gospel. It is the message that is important, not where you meet. I myself, like having a Church family. We meet at Church on Sundays but in houses all week long.

"House church" - this would'nt be where a person's home/domicile is a tax-exempt religious entity would it??

If so - it's an area that can get into some REALLY interesting socio-political or economic situations. [Wink]

What is "house church doctrine"? Never heard of it...and the group I attend meets in homes.

Unless you are referring to "The house church movement" of which followers of Witness Lee continue to this day. If so I would say that the movement erred when it sought to bring all "house churches" under one governing authority. In short: it became too much like the structure it despised, institutional religion.
