So far he has really affirmed that he is part of a church. He said some hazy thing about universal church. That sounds like it could be a guy that stays home and thinks that's just AOK, and then he calls that "church".
Like the 3000 in Act 5 all left for home and stayed there.
He also said they don't have "sermons".
Acts 20:20 NIV You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.
The content of a "preaching" is a "sermon" by definition, and it can be a proclamation of the gospel or a teaching, something "helpful",. What was Paul's sermon in Athens?.
Those were home churches. Small gatherings of believers. When those home churches were started there were “elders”, those who were more mature who were establishe as overseers of what transpired in those gatherings. As it says in Acts 20 there were times when one of the apostles would come in but they would work with the “elders” in each of those groups. Those could also become the teachers but others in the group could also speak to what they had learned.

LOL Show scripture where that “preaching” or “sermon” had to come from the same person each time. Surely you don’t think that Paul or any of the other apostles were in each of those homes each week do you?
