Local Church Discussions - View Single Post - Attending Different Churches: Divisive attitudes

I see this GotQuestions attitude as a result of seeing the church as a collection of individual gatherings that one can choose from within a city, rather than the biblical definition as all believers in the city.

There was no such thing as church-hopping in the Bible. This is because wherever one went within a city they still remained in the one local church.

If what GotQuestions wrote was applied in biblical times, it would mean that a person devoted themselves to only one household assembly and did not mix with other household assemblies in the city which I consider unlikely.
