House Church Talk - writing about HC to folks in IC's

[Bruce Woodford]

Hi Cliff,

You wrote:"My main thoughts on what you wrote to your friend that when 
describing hcs you were using a very limited example of what they are like. 
"

Brother, I did not claim to be describing house churches in general, but 
rather actual house churches with which we have been associated.

You wrote: "Some hcs do follow 1 Corinthains 14."

I am very interested in this statement!  Do you personally know of any where 
all the regulations of I Cor 14:23-40 are followed?  If so, I'd really like 
to hear about such. Can you describe the meetings and how each of the 12 or 
13 regulations there are applied?  I believe that to do so is to fail to 
make the distinctions which sxcripture does between whole church gatherings 
in one place and many smaller house church gatherings in a city.

You also wrote:"The question about disgruntled people is interesting. When 
people start going to a new ic is that question asked of them when they 
come? When the protestant movement started was that a legitamate question to 
ask people why they came?"

Very good question, brother!   I don't know of any gatherings (with which 
the brother who wrote the question about disgruntled people is associated) 
which ask such a question of people which come their way!

Thanks for your comments.

Your brother in Christ,
Bruce
