But then again, I am aso a big fan of acappella singing of all kinds. Clement's approach led to the great Gregorian Chants , which have a kind of aural purity that even the totally worldly can get swept into. However, the Spirit has never let these rules stop the music. Creative music or drama that expresses love of Christ will develop around the edges. In a way, that's the best proof of all that the Spirit is at work in music to bear witness to Christ.
Christians can worship using any style of music, but there are some limits.
Good worship music is not about the worshipper, but about the Worshipped One. Thus, it is wrong for the music to be done mostly to entertain those present, or to say all the right and expected things that keep people in spiritual slumber, or to be tricked-up love songs done in karioke. When the evil itself is named and treated as evil, then it can be taken to the Lord before whom it stands no chance. But when we're too timid or too foolish to even call evil as evil, God will let us keep what we so obviously still want. The laying on of hands is a liturgical act that appears in the New Testament.
