Distinct from other groups in the
Restoration Movement, mainline Churches of Christ
have been known for years for their stand against
the use of instruments in accompaniment to spiritual
songs. Historically, this position has not
been held as a matter of preference or judgment.
It has been a stated doctrinal position, and most of
the leaders for nearly a century who stated
it made it a test of fellowship −a
matter of heaven and hell! However, this
century-old position is fading fast in this group
of churches, but it is not yielding easily.
The TEST of
fellowship was made when Instrumentalists took the
MARK well defined in Scripture. This happened when
men trashed Holy Scripture and claimed that A
spirit was now leading them. That is a fact:
SPIRITUS marks Apollyon the bisexual Introducer of
Musical Melody. His Muses or LOCUSTS are his
musical worship team. Their task is to drive the
godly out.

Stark p11 As Paul indorses the Scriptures
of the Old Testament to Timothy, so Peter
indorses the prophets as proclaiming the same
things sent preached by the evangels of the
gospel with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven.
That I am
right in this is evident from the testimony of the
other side. Those who reject the Old
Scriptures on the music question cannot
preach a sermon or write a book or an essay against
organs without going to the Old Testament
continually.
I have
never known a man who rejected the Old
that was not narrow and bigoted and domineering in
his teachings of the New. By the prophets
was the character of god made known, and the
principles he would develop in men were ty them
set forth. Peter connectes the prophets of
the Old and the evangelso of the New under the
guiding of the same Spirit whe he, speaking of the
great salvation of their souls.
Stark In
the Stark
Warlick Debate, thought of
worship as the emotion of the soul

praising, leaping, dancing,

such should not be suppressed by man made

commands of men are the creed of their division
of God's people. Like Paul's '"man of
sin," they have taken their place in the temple
of God and assume to speak as God. God put
it into his sanctuary by command; and if he
has not taken it out, it remains there, unless
some one claiming superior authority to God shall
as God put it out of the temple of God. That
character Paul calls "the man of sin who opposseth
and exalteth himself above all that is
called God: The Doom of such is HELL.
I need no authority for using it; for where
there is no law, there is no transgression.

SPIRIT is never a person:
it means that God put His WORD into the MOUTH of the
PROPHETS and Jesus of Nazareth for the LAST TIME.

Ezek 26:13 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

Rick Atchley: The era of the progressive Church of Christ is over.
Back in the 80’s you could go to any major city, especially in the South,
and you could find a progressive Church of Christ —
and if they would preach grace,
and if they would put words on a screen,
and if they would let divorced people place membership, they would grow.
The generation of Boomers has enough denominational loyalty that they’re going to find the least legalistic Church of Christ they can find, and that’s where they’re going to attend.Well, we discipled the children of those progressive churches for a whole generation to grow past us Boomers.
They are older and smaller, and their kids are gone. Their kids have fond memories of growing up in that church. The church taught them about Jesus, but now they are somewhere else.
They never heard the sermons we heard.
They never heard the rationale for a cappella music.
We sent them to youth rallies and Church of Christ events with some of the finest Christian bands in the world.
We discipled our children to leave our Movement!”
They’re not leaving the kingdom of God, and I’m not saying that — so please hear me say,
I’m not placing the health of the Movement above the kingdom of God —
I want my kids to love Jesus, but I do think that Churches need to understand.
If you look at most of the “progressive Churches of Christ” across the country,
they’re plateaued. In fact, they are in decline.
You know, when I hear some of those old arguments about music, because of my history, even though I disagree, at least I can connect the dots and see how you got there. My children don’t even have the graph paper! “An Afternoon with Rick Atchley and Chris Seidman, Part 4” (New Wineskins, September – December 2010)

Paul defines that as a
STRONG DELUSION or "claiming to replace God."
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever
commanded a DAY for worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever commanded
any action by the hands of men as worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that Jesus died
in vain unable to "supply all that applies to
life and godliness."
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever authorized
ANY FUNDING for any funded STAFF to ride on the
backs of widows
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that God
commanded SINGING with or without a Mechanical
Device.
It is a STRONG DELUSION and a LIE that there is
a Law of Tithing or a Law of Giving
It is the DEFINITION of a CULT to
operate a center of SANCTITY with command
authority, controlling the member's life several
days during the week.
THE CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY IS A SCHOOL OF

Many in the older generation claim that the younger ones are becoming liberal and are little concerned with the authority of Scripture. Although some among their younger generation likely are becoming less concerned with biblical authority, the reasons for change are not that simplistic.
For example, when I changed my
position on this issue,
I had not
become less concerned
with the place
of biblical authority
and I was
definitely not a member of the younger generation.
Yet, I became unconvinced by the
doctrinal arguments made against the use of
instrumental music in WORSHIP,
although I had
made them myself for many years when a part of that group.
It is not a
matter of indifference when declaring such issues to
be matters of absolute faith rather
than personal opinions and preferences.

"in PRIMITIVE religion any violent or abnormal emotional state was attributed to the gods and regarded as mystical. Both in the Bible and in Homer there are examples of misleading and catastrophic inspiritation. When Jehovah wished King Ahab to be killed in battle, he put a 'lying spirit' in the mouths of his prophets in order that they might encourage the king to go to war (I Kings, xxii, 22)." (Parkes, p. 33)
"What primative men... wanted from the gods was health and strength, riches and long life, and they hoped to attain these things chiefly by ritual and sacrifice rather than by good conduct. The methods of early religion always remained largely magical, and its motivations thoroughly materialistic." (Parkes, p. 36).
