Biblical guide for a "church service"

And I think that this reasoning might fall under quenching the Spirit. God just might have a word for the visitors as well.

Then don't you believe that in his Soverienty he would know before the service that this visitor would be there? Must he wait to see who all shows up and be taken by surprise????? I believe he orders that visitors steps and he is a big enough God to give a Word about that coming visitor BEFORE the SERVICE
