You make a good point. But whether or not the terminology is Biblical, the questions are the same. Does the Bible make a clear distinction between corporate and private worship? If so what are those distinctions?

If there is no distnction between corporate and private worship in Scripture, then do all rules apply? If there is a biblical distinction between corporate and private worship, then what rules apply to the two different groups?

Does that help clarify?

As I said earlier, I believe that some of this is fuzzy for a lot of us.
