A question I have regarding church...

When we invite our non-saved friends to church on Sunday and then we show up on Sunday with them to join the congregation for church in the sanctuary is this what God intended for us to call fellowship or "the assembling of ourselves together"?

Is this what God intended for us to call as church?

I have provided below God's answer and took the liberty to highlight the main points but be sure to read the verses in their entirety as well as the chapters in which they lie. In fact, check the entire Bible to ensure the context is accurate.

The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. Lamentations 1:10

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians 10:20-21

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
