Giving one's body to be burned is not an aspect of "Christian living generally." Neither is understanding all mysteries and knowledge--only someone who would have been specially and supernaturally gifted by God would ever have been able to even remotely in a limited way approach that level of...

This is not correct. That verse is not talking about "fine-sounding words." It is talking about words that are unintelligible without someone's having supernaturally God-given ability to interpret those words. Moreover, 1 Corinthians 13:1 is revelation about corporate worship because it is part...

The NT does reveal that there are uses of musical instruments that produce sounds that are not acceptable for use in corporate worship. 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. In a...

No, the music that is used for corporate worship does not have to be "a form that they can use as a personal expression of worship." It has to be something that pleases God and He accepts. Saying, "It is cultural," is mere assertion. You have to show that is true from Scripture. Whether...

No, John 4:24 does not in any way establish that people can worship God in spirit and truth using every style of music. If you believe that is true, you have to prove that from Scripture. Merely asserting it to be true does not make it true. I did not say anything about there only being one...

No, John 4:24 does not establish anything about God's accepting worship in all styles whatever that people choose to use. Merely claiming that all of their worship is in spirit and in truth does not make it so.

Your repeating your own ideas does not establish anything. If you can back up what you say is true with actual Scripture that says what you say is true . . .

The Bible does not teach that this is true.

Actually, no, having one single passage would very likely not solve the problems. Suppose that there were such a passage saying that music "X" is the kind of music that God wants during worship. Multitudes of people would make all kinds of arguments against even such a direct statement by...

There is no biblical basis to hold that any (in the sense of every) "form" of music can be used acceptably to God in corporate worship.

To answer this question properly, lots of wrong beliefs have to rejected. The Bible does not ever teach that God accepts the use of all kinds of instrumental music in worship.

On the contrary, it is you who are showing who you are through your unedifying remarks that provide no valid counterargument.

This was the objection that I was expecting to get. A closer look at the passage answers this objection. Revelation 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be...

The right way to interpret Revelation 18:21-24 is to let the text speak for itself. Paying attention fully to what God has actually explicitly said shows us that the permanent termination of the various, specified music makers of Babylon that is spoken of in the passage is a divine judgment that...

We have very different understandings of the book of Revelation. Trying to discuss anything with you about what the book says would be pointless because you impose an extrabiblical understanding on the book that is entirely unsupported by anything in Scripture itself.
