It seems to me that with that theory, the Bible is fairly silent on pews, formal church buildings (outside of home Bible studies), pitch pipes, hymnals, etc. These are also accommodations that have been added to aid in "worship". Are these authorized? Unauthorized? Where is the line that has been drawn? (that I was actually unaware of). I agree we should speak where the Bible speaks. I just don't hear what You are hearing. How do we know what is pleasing to God if it is not clearly written? It seems there is a lot of reading between the lines to get where you are going.

I'm not really trying to argue here... I don't think "mechanical instruments" are to take the place of singing. Instead, they are simply aids to get people in the same key and melody line in the same line as a hymnal helps everyone know the words. At our church, we do both acappella and instrumental. People are gifted by God to use musical instruments, myself included. Without lessons, I am able to play many instruments and write songs and psalms to God. I do not write secular songs because I am a Christian. Music is a powerful tool that can reach people deeply, soothe souls and aid in experiencing the Spirit of God. This is whether instrumental or not, and I feel extremely blessed to be gifted in this area. I just happen to play an instrument for the glory of God. I don't know that we will agree on this issue, and that's okay. As mentioned, I don't have a problem with this style of worship. I have been to several non-instrumental churches on occasion, and aside from not knowing a majority of the songs, it was the exact same service and doctrine that my church holds. (just no worship team)
