This thought has been on my mind and I would love to hear your perspective. Over the past year I have had some friends from sound reformed churches, leave them and start regularly attending home churches. Their reasoning is that they want to be the church in the most biblical way. For example, when we read 1st Corinthians, it is very clear that when the church met up they did things differently than reformed churches do today. Rather than 1 minister leading a service, it appeared that each member was able to bring something to the gathering to edify the church. Also, certain spiritual gifts were regular in the life of the church that are not present in reformed churches today. Then throughout the book of Acts and the letters to the churches, we see home churches as the norm.
I think I already know how to answer this from a reformed perspective, but I would just like to see your thoughts, because reformed people really like to speak of being regulative and adhering as closely to the Bible as possible, but certain Calvinists who I know now who are a part of the home church movement would say that does not look like biblical worship when examining the Bible.
