So then, can you elaborate? Did the apostle's pick up on this in the epistles to make this a doctrine related to how we meet? Or do we have to infer this great truth from this figurative language and story?

It is inferred just as many other things we do are inferred. I think it shows that if believers can meet anywhere as claimed , then why did they not just meet anywhere? If Jesus said we could worship anywhere in Spirit and truth then why did they go to great lengths to prepare a specific place for the Lord's Table? Why did they not just do it anywhere they liked ? (the Garden of Gethsemane for example, they could have had a picnic in the park).
