I might want to certainly ask questions as a concerned brother but not to diminish the direction which the lord leads folks. Idee you show a great deal of strength and understanding and knowledge concerning the move towards instrumental music in your local congregation. Our prayers and with you. Hang in there sounds like things may just be ready to light a fire with some folks. When I talk about Jesus, I am trying to peel off the paint and layers of Dogma and Tradition which Christianity and Religion have inserted, in an attempt to improve upon on the original and True face of the Master.
Rumors are more destructive than any facts.
We choose to use a mix of acapella and instrumental music for the reason of the Great Commission. No outsider was going to understand the issue of acapella and instrumental, and our mission was to be fishers of men, not preserve the aquarium. We took it on ourselves to make and mature disciples. So, appauld your leaders if their motivation is to make more disciples or something else laudable. I had heard rumors that our leadership was going to introduce instrumental music in the assembly.
