“1. Where does it say in Acts 17 that they held church there with ‘possible others’?”
“How can these things be strengthening for the church if only a few people are there? It is ridiculous to see this any other way.”

Mark,
I’m not seeing where I mentioned Acts17…but the ‘possible others’ I was thinking of were the Philippian jailer and his household ch.16.

So, how do we determine when we have enough believers together to have “formal church”? Do you have a specific number in mind?

If only a handful of people are gathered, don’t they need to be strengthened?
Can you give one verse that specifies the number of believers that is necessary?
