See, that's what's wrong with society today.
No porches.

No front or back yards, either.

I don't see how any of this is some kind of 'counterpoint' to house church ecclesiology.
I think, as I keep saying, that many of you guys are 'missing the point' about house churches.
Maybe it's a communication issue, perhaps I am just not able to communicate what I have been trying to say in a manner that can be easily understood.

We already settle the issue they often met in one specific home. Probably because it was a home with that large multipurpose guest chamber
The church is the church. It's not "The building church", nor "The Tent church", nor even "The house church".
It's just the Church and they MET where they could. They met at the Temple. They met in one specific Home/Guest chamber and they met from home to home

Got the horse, dog, and the cats in the front yard. Pretty soon we'll have some chickens there too.
Gators, wild pigs, deer, and lots of snakes in the 'back woods' behind the house.
And yes, I do sit on the porch with a fiddle or banjo sometimes...

??????---Where's the porch in this verse? And what is the 1/3?

I know it is sarcasm, but I still don't see why you said it.

That crowd appears to have been able to HEAR the speaking in tongues and see Peter and the Apostles stand up

Re: why do you like church buildings for meetings?
No, Sorry but I don't get the point.
I guess the 1/3rd means that you are adding to the Word of God. as evidently they were standing on something, so they could see the crowd, and the crowd could hear them, so you added he porch.
You're a quick carpenter, they had Portico's, but I doubt if they had porches.
