.....that the church will end up being more back in homes and other private places?
Maybe from a dispensationalist's point of view.bobbichan said:At any rate, the Bible clearly depicts that there will be two churches, an adultrous harlot church, and a glorfied and radient church. One church is betraying Christ by following the doctrines of men, while the other readies herself and follows the doctrines of Christ. Both are very much alive and well today.

We are called out of Babylon (the harlot), so that we do not partake in her sins and face the judgement and wrath that is coming to her.
Today, all the protestant churches out there are slowly loosing sight of their first love. Some faster than others, but I really do see it happening. Actually it's been happening for quite some time. Eventually it will be truly apostate. I feel that the real believers in Christ who love God's word will be meeting privately... much like in the days before the protestant reformation. I'm not sure if we will be greatly persecuted as the church was in that day... perhaps (still researching those issues).
But yeah... that's what I believe based on reading God's Word. =3
