I will ask again, what sorts of decisions does an assembly need to make other than time and content of meetings (and perhaps place)? I don't mean in current practice - where their are already huge congregations with funds and ministries tied up with the assembly. I mean quite simply an assemblage of Christians.
I'm not saying issues won't arise among God's people in assemblies. But "the group" doesn't need to make decisions about that.

Where does it say all the church is supposed to do is provide a time and place to meet? Are you saying the church as a group cannot have an agenda of mission work. Why not?
Why the arbitrary delineation? You sound like someone who's been burnt by group cooperation and so are hunting for a reason to de-legitimize it.
