Wah, then of course this loose definition of Church is very flexible.

How many churches are there in Rome & Corinth?

i can just stay at home and have church isn't it? After all Jesus said where 2 or 3 are gathered together in His Name, He is there? So if my spouse and children are saved and if i can read my own bible, form my own interpretation, conduct the communion ownself, preach to my wife, children & whoever stays with us, would we qualify to be a household church. If i can invite some other neighbours to join me at my residence every Sunday, wouldn't that be the House Church? If we expand after reaching out to the neighbourhood and have other housechurches started and later gather enough housechurches to meet regularly in a community hall, wouldn't we be the ABC Community church. If we send missionaries to start other housechurches in different locations all over the island and they later grow to Communities Churches and all the Communities Churches decide to gather regularly four times a year for an island-wide worship service, wouldn't that be the Island Church?
And should the Apostle Paul wants to write to Church on the Island, then he can address all their problems as a singular church isn't it? Because they are actually grown from one starter church, with their elders appointed soley or jointly with the congregation but not without the Apostle's instruction. So all their problems are similar on the Island. Then your House Church is definitely biblical, isn't it?

That's how the Scriptures use that term, the context matters by RTC, 2001, Apr 26
