A house church doesn't mean that the conventional church discrepancies are actually fixed. -Jared Tracy,

It was pretty much a one man show, he was a prophet and everyone apparently attended to get a word from him or to hear what God had given him. The main guy gave the sermon, but instead of behind a pulpit, he was sitting in a chair in a room full of others in chairs. I got the feeling you didn't interact or ask questions or make comments during his message any more than you would in a church service. There was a definite "order" to the day, songs, offering and tithes (he believed in tithing), and sermon, and prayer and ministry. I know they are not all like that, but God was able to use it to show me just because it's house church doesn't mean it's right either.
