Is the praise team comprised of males and females? Does this involve a function of leadership in the corporate assembly? Is the praise team seated amongst the congregation or standing before the congregation, and does it give the appearance of leadership? Does the praise team actually facilitate and benefit congregational singing or detract from it as a virtual performance? There are biblical principles that help to address these matters beyond what is discussed in the article.amerikiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392673888503758721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748546794339601451.post-21486411559785481732015-06-10T15:22:53.812-05:002015-06-10T15:22:53.812-05:00Kevin, I think based on the description you have h...Kevin, I think based on the description you have here that the use of praise teams in the Church of Christ would be totally acceptable. Can you confirm or deny?<br /><br />"The New Testament directive to sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord would permit song books or overheads (for words), a tuning fork (for pitch), a song leader (for tempo), none of which deviates from the specified instructions. But there is no New Testament authorization for playing and making melody on a piano in worship (even to accompany the singing), or beating drums, or juggling Bibles, or dancing with hula hoops, etc. All humanly-devised additions to the specified instructions are implicitly prohibited if the Lord has given no such directive."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
