Church is not a building, it's the congregation. Wherever two or more gather in His name, He will be there with them. If you're gathering in a house with a group of Christians, to study and learn the Scriptures, I don't think there's anything wrong with that The main thing is that a group of Christians gather together to worship and praise the Lord, and study His Word.

the whole basic concept of that scripture is NOT a Holy kiss with the lips. The intire format is about "love".
Verse 18. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours - Inasmuch as you share in my comfort. Such therefore acknowledge - With suitable love and respect.
Verse 19. Aquila and Priscilla had formerly made some abode at Corinth, and there St. Paul's acquaintance with them began, Acts xviii, 1, 2.
Verse 21. With my own hand - What precedes having been wrote by an amanuensis.
Verse 22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ - If any be an enemy to his person, offices, doctrines, or commands. Let him be Anathema. Maran-atha-Anathema signifies a thing devoted to destruction. It seems to have been customary with the Jews of that age, when they had pronounced any man an Anathema, to add the Syriac expression, Maran-atha, that is, "The Lord cometh;" namely, to execute vengeance upon him. This weighty sentence the apostle chose to write with his own hand; and to insert it between his salutation and solemn benediction, that it might be the more attentively regarded.

Is this Viable? Are you talking about a church in the home? If so, yes it is viable. We've had 2 churches in our home. One went on to build a church of 300+ members, and another over 1,000 members.

"19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla [a] greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house. 20 All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss"
Greet each other warmly? sure.

Which part? We conduct services in our home on Sundays and during the week all the time, until we're able to get a building. We also go to fellowship with other saints at their churches. We also greet saints with a HOLY kiss.

1Cor:16:19: The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

It is my opinion that this was a testimony to a fledgling Christian community was in the transitional phase of forming. It is because it was in the transitional phase that it could be done only in the most remote parts of the world. Even then, the advancements in transportation make it more likely that people of faith would congregate together.
Good question.

have church service in your house? The word says where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst. By all means. We held bible study in a house and had worship service in a ball room of some sorts, until I church building was built.
