Heh. I thought it was a preachers forum only. Apparently musicians are given membership.

The emotionalism that is cranked up by the musicians is no different than a rock concert or a high school pep rally.

You take away the "jungle beat" and the guy crankin' that keyboard would have no problem when he tells them folks to sit down and behave themselves.

Each church will be different in how they respond and worship. Within the context of this congregation, I have no problem with this.
I really hesitate to criticize how others worship, unless it is against scripture.

I agree; it isn't the "style" of worship that says dead or alive. Some people lift their hands, some people jump and dance, others quietly pray. Some people like Christian rock; some like black Gospel; others like bluegrass. Who cares? I've never labeled a church as "dead" just because they had a more laid back type of service. I can still tell when I'm in a morgue.
