Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie, {20:7} And the napkin, that
was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself. {20:8} Then went in
also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre,
and he saw, and believed. {20:9} For as yet they knew not
the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

I appreciate your attempt but the running here is not running in praise.

[Evang.Benincasa]

The praise which was being conducted in the early church is found in Psalm 150:4. 1 Corinthians 14:26 gives the order of those who led the congregation in singing, and the word.

The earliest believers were Jews and I am sure they would have responded in praise and worship on the Day of Pentecost in the same way they had already practiced.

For them, as it us for us, the GOD of the OT is the GOD and SAVIOR of the NT.

Jehovah has become our Salvation. Jehovah Saves. Jesus.

it was in excitement, anticipation, and belief that Jesus had resurrected, you think there was no praise?

JB - is it ok to use musical instruments in church?
I mean nowhere in the NT are they used.
Also, I am now wondering about vehicles to get to church.
I mean the early church walked everywhere they went...

Let's not mention the altar call or offering. Heaven forbid a church has a choir or soloist. Electricity wasn't invented, so obviously Sure cordless mics are of the debbil. Paul didn't wear an earbud to hear himself either!

Lord, have mercy!

Joe,

Did you watch the video of the older couple dancing at NAYC? I think ndavid posted it early in this thread. If you haven't watched it, it's worth your 30 seconds to view it.

If you did see it, do you see anything wrong with their worship? If you do, please explain.

If you don't have a problem with their worship, then you'll need to explain the anti-demonstrative position you've taken on worship.

I preached Sunday night and my title was "When your shout is louder than your adversary"... so I think you know where I stand on the issue

I would have walked out when you announce your title!! ok ok I don't know exactly what you preached. But going from the title I bet you had a lot of shout during service. This is the kind of thing I oppose. It does not matter how loud your shout is or high and often you jump or flail or dance. The notion that your adversary reacts to your shout is absurd. The notion that anything happens based entirely on our degree of praise takes away from "by HIS stripes we were healed"!!!! Was not there a person healed just by a shadow passing over?? If that does not tell you something I guess we are not even close in stance. It has always confused me when preachers pump and prime for demonstrative worship and say things like "if you want a miracle do this and such" and then turn around and preach the power of using the name of Jesus. I got news for ya ALL YOU NEED IS JESUS!!!!!

The mode of travel to a meeting is incidental and not a direct part of "worship" and therefore is not covered by the Scripture's regulation of worship.

Same with using electrical lights or sound amplification systems.

The use of a "worship team", choir, soloist, worship "director", and similar things, however, ARE part of a congregation's act of worship, and therefore subject to the Scripture's regulation of worship.
