1 Cor 14 v 29 And as to prophets, two or three should speak, and the others discern.
Reading this verse, one can tell that Paul is not talking about a three-people church here.
There are at least four people in this verse:-
(1) Two speakers. (Room is given for a third speaker) (Paul does not give room for a fourth or fifth speaker).
(2) The others who are discerning:- The word is "others" so this means at least two people are discerning, possibly more.
It's hard to see how one can reach the conclusion that all should speak in a meeting.
