Subject: Did other churches use intruments |
Bible Note: Dear gospelman, As one who attends a local "Christian Church" (south of Seattle), I understand where you're coming from. While your statement is made in love, it unfortunately smacks of legalism and exclusivism. That is one of the main challenges with the Church of Christ in my estimation. They are tolerant of no one except those who adhere to their brand of Christianity. You can call it what you want, but it is "died-in-the-wool" exclusivism. Brother, grace says God did for me what I could never do and I can accept others too because of that. Legalism says, "it must be done this way". I'll error on the side of grace every time:-) Praise God that he alone is worthy! I'm sure you'd be shocked to find our church as a whole doesn't teach or adhere to "Baptismal regeneration" nor do we use instruments only! (Gasp!) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
