    I agree. The laity must abide by the rules, too. There is no need for this 24/7 lifestyle. There are times and places....

    The rich are strange anymore. They like to dress like the homeless but want to be treated as if they were billionaires. They take their children out in public and let them run wild just like the poor do.

    Any "worship" that brings God down to mans level is WRONG! I don't care what the excuse, it's WRONG! God is so far above us, He is holy, holy, holy!! So, if your goal is to make God like man, you are so far off the right track that you may never find your way back.

    Very good.

    2 Corinthians 5 gives this theme of in the world to teach of God bonging reconciliation.

    However, God did not reconcile Himself to humankind, rather the reconciliation os man to God.

    How dare folks bring the world into such a presentation at any point.

    The whole ministry of the Saints is to bring unbelievers to God.

    Sorry but isn’t it The Holy Spirit that brings people to God.

    Are you saying that a routine is a liturgy?

    And then there's the Russian\Slavic Baptist Order of service:
    A typical Sunday (morning or evening) service goes something like this:
    a. the Pastor or his designee calls the service to order and gives the Invocation.
    b. a choir number
    c. congregational hymn
    d. the first preacher (the Pastor or the man in charge of the service has previously designated which of the preachers in the church will be speaking at a given service and in what order <Nezavisimaya has +/-12 preachers>) speaks usually for 10-15 minutes.
    This message is usually a Call to Worship or Prayer
    e. congregational prayer (three maybe four men or women lead in prayer from their places in the meeting hall, with the preacher closing). This is a time of Thanksgiving for the God's provision in the last week. The preacher closes with a prayer for God s blessing on the coming service.
    f. a congregational hymn
    g. a senior choir number or
    h. a children's choir or
    i. a recitation of Christian poetry or song by an individual or group
    j. the second preacher speaks (see d. above). This preacher brings a strong Bible Message for 20-25 minutes.
    k. repeat f-i.
    l. the third preacher speaks (usually at Nezavisimaya this is Pastor Gregorov). This man ties the two previous speakers together. (Or he may launch off on his own message.)
    m. see e. above
    n. congregational hymn and offering
    o. greetings from various churches
    p. prayer requests are taken and final prayer two+ hours later.

    All churches have a liturgy

    Some are slightly different each week but yea All churches have them

    Sometimes we do responsive readings
    Sometimes we recite the Apostles Creed. I am sure that one will raise questions. Lol

    I think that liturgy says the same thing every time.

    Certainly.

    I apologize that the messages have become garbled to the point they are hard for me to even discern them.

    I was attempting to restate that God does the work of reconciliation.

    He established the way of reconciliation.

    Here is what I wrote and what I should have written:
    2 Corinthians 5 gives this theme - believers are in the world to teach (that) God bringing (better has brought, brings) reconciliation.

    However, God did not reconcile Himself to humankind, rather the reconciliation is (one directional) - man is reconciled to God.

    The ministry of the Saints is to bring unbelievers to God (by being “...Witnesses, teaching them all things, baptizing them ...”).

    What about Nadab and Abihu?

    Did God care what they did in regards to worship?

    What about Saul when he offered the evening sacrafice only to be rebuked by Samuel? Did God care then? Obedience is better than sacrafice

    Jesus said those who worship God must worship Him in Truth and in Spirit. John 4:24?
