The purpose of hymns is to teach and admonish. This includes hymns of praise. Col 3:16. When the flock is assembled for corporate worship, the authority to teach and admonish is given to ministers. 1 Cor. 4:1; Acts 20:28; Heb. 13:17.
Well, I do understand what you are saying. I simply have to disagree due to the fact that I believe a careful exegesis of the Col 3:16 passage as well as Eph 5:19 will not support the idea that Paul is referring to how believers are to conduct themselves in corporate/public worship, but rather he is instructing them as to how they should relate to one another in everyday life.

Therefore, the onus is upon you to present your exegesis of that/those passage(s) to show that the context is that of corporate worship. Will you do that please?

In His Grace,
