My difficulty comes from the fact that while we may indeed go to Acts 2 and or 4 - and find churches meeting in houses - were these indeed 'churches' or expressions of a wider ecclessiastical concept called 'church' and consequentially can we understand the gathering in Acts 15 as the actions of leaders in a local church or was this rather not more like an associational gathering of leaders with the word 'church' being used in a wider rather than local sense?Stuart Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107195255166362803noreply@blogger.com
