Bible Question:
Should the church allow non-Christians be part of the worship ensemble, praise band ... the group that is up front during the music time? Explain your answer. I saw this on another forum and am wondering what you think. |
Bible Answer: Can non-Christians be in a praise band? If the purpose of the band is to worship God, then the answer is no, non-Christians should not be in it. It is impossible for unbelievers to worship God. NASB John 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. NASB John 4:24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Unbelievers are not true worshipers. Unbelievers do not worship the Father in spirit and truth. Therefore, it is impossible for unbelievers to worship God. Since they cannot worship God, it would be inappropriate for them to be members of a band whose purpose is to worship God. We need to learn what worship is according to the Scriptures. Grace to you, Kalos |
