Re: Apostoic worship??
[QUOTE=Aquila;1516510]I think I see what the others are saying. They're saying that "worship" is primarily living a life of love and obedience. This would include Christian living, prayer, fasting, meditating on the Scriptures, being faithful to gathering, song, psalms, hymns, and perhaps some dancing, clapping, and shouting. But the singing, dancing, clapping, shouting, etc., while demonstrative, don't constitute "worship" all by themselves. In fact, they aren't necessary. Imagine a church under persecution that can't have a large building, choir, loud singing, clapping, dancing, etc. Such saints might gather rather quietly (without the demonstrative worship) by most Pentecostal standards. While those things are nice, it is living a Christian life as an act of worship that truly counts.
Well I have never thought that "worship" excludes a life of serving God. Ever.
However I think some just love a good argument.
Worship is defined by Strongs a "kiss" or "like a dog licking his masters hand".
All the things people have thrown against that are covered in tons of various scriptures.
Jesus likes to be worshiped.
Various scriptures speak of SERVING....AND...... WORSHIPING...GOD.
