Denny, now you are just acting silly. I believe decent and in order, when done to glorify God, and not squelching the congregation is the correct model. THis is about music. And if the instruments are mentioned in the psalms, then who are we, or who is anyone to say differently? People have majored in a minor here.

I have never once called myself the standard. But please tell me if there is anything more boring than a dutchman.

All I said, if you read closely, was to squelch a pew sitter from raising his or her hands, praising God, is pure nonsense.

And you are right, being part of the reformed church, we do not speak of the RP as puritanical presby's do. So I never heard of it until a year ago.

As far as Charasmatics, their antics are the least of their worries.

Give me a solid biblical 5 solas brother, and he can play a lute, a harp, cymbals, and it would not bother me.

Give me an arminian who follows the RP, and he is still as lost.

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
