Certainly true - when two or more are gathered in His name - there He is in the midst of them!

That is a common and often misunderstood section of the Gospel.

See http://midwestapologetics.org/blog/?p=634

Christian, I’m sure that many believers would agree with you that wherever Christians are gathered, there Christ will be too, and that we don’t need a building, pews, etc. However, that is not at all what this verse is teaching. The context just does not support such an interpretation. So I would urge you not to misuse this passage just because that’s what you want it to mean. We need to let Scripture transform our thinking, rather than allow our thinking to transform Scripture.
