I was wondering if we could maybe define here what it means, Biblically speaking, to have Christian fellowship. For instance, the early church met daily from house to house and in the temple courts for the teaching of the word, for prayer, for the breaking of bread and for fellowship. They were committed (devoted) to fellowship with one another.
So, what do you believe is meant by fellowship in that context? I think that in our modern-day churches we have altered the meaning of fellowship quite a bit, and that we have lost the idea of what the early believers experienced in genuine fellowship with one another. What do you think they did in their meetings with one another that they would have regarded as "fellowship"?
I found this definition on GotQuestions.org that I think is quite good: http://www.gotquestions.org/koinonia.html
