In the O.T. God commanded His worship with the use of certain things, He clarified how He was to be worshipped, He did not leave it up to man to decide how man should worship Him. If God wanted mechanical instrument in worship under this New Covenant then He would have stated so. As for...

If each Christian understands that the scripture dictate singing, would not each one who understands the command sing, would that not imply congregational singing?

. Its obvious that the scriptures that I have shown dictates that we (Christians) are to sing to one another admonishing one another. This would mean that the congregation of people would be doing this, there is no indication of choirs or trios or such. It says we are to sing to one...

We sing because God wants spiritual songs, speaking to one another and making melody in our hearts to the Lord (Eph. 5:19). We sing because God wants spiritual songs, teaching and admonishing one another, with grace in our hearts to the Lord (Col. 3:16). We sing because God wants spiritual...

You people crack me up, comparing guitars and pianos with the things that you have shown above have nothing to do with one another. The N.T. says sing, so thats obviously what God wants from His people. I guess you can add whatever you like to the Lord's supper as well since the bible does not...

A. THE ONLY MUSIC COMMANDED IN THE NT WAS "VOCAL"... 1. The example of Jesus and His disciples - Mt 26:30; Mk 14:26 (they "sung a hymn") 2. The example of Paul and Silas - Ac 16:25 ("singing hymns") 3. Other references a. Ro 15:9 - "sing to Your name" b. 1 Co 14:15 - "I will sing with the...

rbell wrote: So according to you silence gives us authority to do that in which the N.T. is silent on? Is it really that goofy to debate issues that people are adding to the word where it is silent? Its easier to make a wise crack then to deal with the issue. Darron Steele wrote: I'm...

DHK WROTE: I would say that not everyone knows that John was the first Baptist. John was an immerser and was called that because of the immersion he called all to obey in repentance for the remission of sins. So He did not teach faith alone. So is John the baptist the founder of the...

What does the N.T. say about Mechanical instruments in the worship? Do we have examples of what type of music God wants from us? Does it matter to God how we worship Him. When Jesus said that God must be worshiped in spirit and in truth (John 4:23, 24), was how we worship Him important...

Is it scriptural to have women "Pastors"? What do the scripture's say about what and who a pastor, shepard, elder, bishop is; what are the qualifications of this office? If it is not scriptural, then to allow it to happen in your congregation, is it sin?

This thread was derailed long ago with the rapture, they could have started another thread, but they ate up this one, so why not respond, you wont derail the tread, besides, this is an issue that causes major division among follower of Christ, just ask Jimmy Carter. I am interested to hear...

Then it is you who thinks that all first century Christians were Baptists? Your implications of John preaching faith alone is not true, he preached a baptism of repentance in water for the remission of sins. What kind of Baptist was John? American Baptist Association American Baptist...

That is your opinion. According to you and others there cannot be one true church, it must be the hundreds or maybe thousands of denomination who have divided again and again. Who do not agree on issues when you scratch the surface of there so called justification by faith alone. Underneath all...

I know what "Wrongness" means, but thanks for assuming I am an idiot. First you have to define what you think a follower of Christ is, because obviously many define it differently. To you as I can gather a follower of Christ is someone who has faith alone in Christ. Secondly, when it...

Nope, there are many out there that belong to congregations that have no denominational affiliation, who have obeyed the Gospel and follow after Christ just as He has commnded. They are part of the church that Christ died for. The church of Christ is not a title of a group, but the...

TCGREEK: Do you read of Baptists, Methodists, so on and so on in scripture? I read of Christians, followers of Christ wearing the name of Christ. Where in scripture does it teach that we should be called Baptist or even Lutherans? When the seed of the word is planted in good and honest...

Can you define "Wrongness"? As for the posting by DHK of the so called statement of faith, the congregation that I fellowship is autonomous and has no such statement. As for some of the issues that I might take issue with I go to the scripture, if it goes against the word of God I have no...

What about issues of salvation with members and members of other denominations? What exactly is a non-salvic issue when it comes to obedience in the word of God? What about those who claim that repentance is something we do and is required for salvation making salvation conditional can...

Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. Are the Baptist churches teaching the docrtines of Christ and the Apostles according to scripture? There is one body, this is unity, the arm will know what the leg is doing, if the arm and the leg do not work together...

ANGUS DEI WROTE: [ The Lord’s church is the church that He built (Matthew 16:18). It is not my church or anyone else’s church, it belongs to God. When we obey God through His word we are added to His church (Acts 2:41). We find that Christ is the author or eternal salvation to those who...
