When I think house church I think NT or persecution, but it appears that this is growing intentionally in the US too. |
If we get to the point where we are persecuted like our brothers and sisters in underground China...then yes more forgivable. But there are house churches in underground china that have pastors who are also under authority and have to be approved by a group of godly men.
