Orderly Worship: Regulative or Normative?  (What makes a good Church 6of10)

Is there really a right or wrong way to worship God?
 
This is a question that has divided the body of Christ as well as lead to splits within local churches. Hymns or Contemporary? A capella or instruments? Most would dismiss such questions as being secondary, irrelevant issues – and rightfully so. 

Simply put, the question is “To what extent do we seek to apply and live out the Scripture?”
   This debate has usually caused believers to adopt one of two opinions:

Normative – Corporate church worship services must include all the elements that Scripture commands and may include others so long as they are not prohibited by Scripture.

Regulative - Corporate church worship services must include all the elements that Scripture commands or are a good and necessary implication of a biblical text and nothing more, nothing less.
