Again, Evangelical, "the church in X" is all the believers in X, not your group. They are not the same thing. You keep equating the two, but they will never be the same thing.

I don't think it matters where we meet. We go to people's homes and public places too. The point is, we would not attend a denomination that will only build up their denomination wouldn't it? And would we achieve fellowship if we just sit idly in the pews watching the service with everyone else?
If all believers are genuinely the church in X, then how can we realize a practical assembly? By going to their denomination? I don't think that will work, we are just increasing their denomination.
But if they all came and met with us, then that would be a practical assembly of the church in X wouldn't it? Because we are "the church in X".
Suppose every group did not invite others to their group, how can a practical assembly of all believers in the city be achieved?
