"However, singing followed by prayer, reading of God's word, and a spoken message is our most common format. Because of our Church of Christ HERITAGE, singing is without instrumental accompaniment, following the practice of the early church. While some of our students are newcomers to this worship experience, many students come to admire its beauty and simplicity.

Pattern of the Civil-Military-Clergy whom God abandoned to carry out the "worship of the starry host" (Acts7) including Apollo, Apollyon or Abbadown from Egypt. God did not command, king, kingdom, temple, priests and the Jacob-cursed Levites. They were ABANDONED because of the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at Mount Sinai. The Levites made a loud crasing noise while goats or INFANTS were put through the HOLOCAUST.

kenneth-starr-plans-to-join-baptist-church/ But in an interview with The Baptist Standard after accepting the Baylor job, Starr said he began having questions about age 18 about certain Church of Christ practices, including the lack of instrumental music. He said the McLean Bible Church, where he was active from 1978 to 2004, continued to capture his attention and remained his “home congregation” after he left Washington.
“I’m comfortable with the articulation of Baptist distinctives — including the role of baptism,” Starr told the Standard, which noted that Churches of Christ, unlike Baptists, teach that baptism is essential for salvation. Starr also told the Baptist paper, “I feel a great sense of kinship and fellowship with the Baptist community.”
Provost Darryl Tippens said Pepperdine’s reputation among law schools has risen in recent years.
Darryl Tippens: A strong argument for a cappella singing is to experience it in its full power. If one never experiences the soul-stirring power of human voices joyously united in song,
        theological argument alone will scarcely sustain the tradition.
        If we are honest, we will admit that our own inattention
        and poor choices work against the survival of a cappella singing.

Catullus - Poem 63

"One of these charges the Egyptians thus: "If you believe them to be gods, do not mourn or bewail them; and if you mourn and bewail them, do not any more regard them as gods." And another, taking an image of Hercules made of wood (for he happened most likely to be cooking something at home), said,

"Come now, Hercules; now is the time to undergo for us this thirteenth labour, as you did the twelve for Eurystheus, and make this ready for Diagoras," and so cast it into the fire as a log of wood. For the extremes of ignorance are atheism and superstition, from which we must endeavour to keep.

Monterey Church of Christ Elders: The a cappella TRADITION in Churches of Christ is rooted in Scripture and the early Christian church, said Brian Starr, Lubbock Christian University executive vice president.

There is not a single Command, Example or remote Inference of God having His people ASSEMBLE to sing with or without instruments.

Music. Cantillation signs guide the reader in applying a chant to Biblical readings. This chant is technically regarded as a ritualized form of speech intonation rather than as a musical exercise like the singing of metrical hymns: for this reason Jews always speak of saying or reading a passage rather than of singing it. (In Yiddish the word is leynen 'read', derived from Latin legere, giving rise to the Jewish English verb "to leyn".)

http://www.piney.com/Cantillation.2.html

The Philipedium: In most western European languages, the word for “read” starts with the letter “L”. These languages can be divided into two main groups — those of Latin origin and those of Germanic origin. In each of the Latin languages (Italian, Spanish, French, etc.), the modern word is derived from legere, the Latin word for “read”. The Italian word is still leggere, essentially unchanged from the Latin. In the other Romance languages, the “g” sound was lost, and so we have leer in Spanish, ler in Portuguese, and lire in French.

(Note: The Old Testament understands that instrumental music--called NOISE--was authorized only in certain dedicatory or purification rituals associated with the temple and with Jerusalem. Without both there was never any rationale for instrument to make a great crashing sound during animal sacrifices.)

“The early leaders of the (Church of Christ) movement took a high view of Scripture
        and, interpreting it within a generally conservative framework,
        they sought to restore the worship practices found in the New Testament church,”
        he wrote in an email. “From that stance, they typically embraced a capella as their worship style.”

The Church of Christ (the Rock) was defined after Israel fell into Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted PLAY.

We are afflicted and want to say such people are Bible and Ethically Illiterate. However, Paul in Ephesians 4 says of the cunning craftsmen or sophists--speakers, singers, instrument players are marked as LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

Does any one object, that music is very useful for awakening the minds of men and moving their hearts? I own it;

Again, Calvin notes that: "We know that our Lord Jesus Christ has appeared, and by His advent has abolished these legal shadows.

Instrumental music, we therefore maintain, was only tolerated on account of the times and the people, because they were as boys, as the sacred Scripture speaketh, whose condition required these puerile rudiments.

"According to Philo, the gods of the pagans exploit this weakness of men. For the sake of a better effect, and with the intention of more easily cheating their devotes, that they have set their lies to melodies, rhythms and meters.." (Father Johannes Quasten, p. 52)

To explain the tradition, many pastors point to New Testament Scriptures like Ephesians 5:19-20, which reads, “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (NIV 1984).

Absent in the New Testament are explicit references to instrumental worship, pointing to a Christian standard of a capella worship, some argue.

Monterey, too, plans to keep its 8:30 a.m. a capella assembly because of continued connection to the service and the worship tradition, said the church’s senior minister, Barry Stephens.

Monterey’s decision to include an instrumental worship assembly
was the culmination of years of Bible study
and discernment, Stephens said.

Numerous Scriptures, like those in 2 Chronicles 7 and 29, Psalms 33, 92 and 150, affirmed instrumental worship, the leaders decided.

Furthermore, New Testament Scriptures traditionally used to support a cappella worship
did not speak specifically to the context of gathered worship.
And if even if they did, the Greek word translated as “music” or “melody” did not refer exclusively to a cappella worship.

Once Monterey leaders had Scriptural grounding, they turned to another question:
        Was instrumental worship right for Monterey?
        They decided it was; the practice could help them further spread the Gospel
        and offer members with non-vocal musical talents a forum for offering their gifts to God. Leaders then guided members through biblical study, with the church opting in the end to have an instrumental service.

Between 35 and 40 members departed during the year-and-a-half move toward the service.
Some left on grounds of conviction while others did so because the
10:45 a.m. service would become instrumental and they preferred a late morning a capella service.

However, Stephens noted, about the same number of people have joined during the 18-month period - including people returning to the Church of Christ fold after years away.

Overall, the response has been positive, he maintained. People participate just as enthusiastically and sing just was wholeheartedly as they did before the instruments were used.

On a recent Sunday, congregants packed the assembly hall, singing along to percussive and meditative hymns alike.

When Monterey Church of Christ debuted its new service on Feb. 5, Hicks preached a sermon titled, “We Cannot Fellowship the Lubbock Monterey Church of Christ,” about the spiritual stakes of instrumental worship. The same morning, he discussed the topic “Surveying the Error of Instrumental Music in Worship” on his radio program on KFYO. He later burned the sermon and radio program on CDs and sent the recordings to Monterey’s elders and as many Lubbock Church of Christ elders as he had addresses for.

In the sermon, Hicks encouraged Southside members to end fellowship with Monterey - even if family members were part the offending congregation.

Ending spiritual ties with Monterey was difficult but necessary because of the potential effect on souls, Hicks said.

The issue is not about a piano in worship, but rather about the authority of Scripture. The matter is of such importance, the preacher wants to debate the matter publicly with Monterey leaders, Hicks said. Stephens said such a debate would not help further Monterey’s mission of reaching those who do not believe in Jesus.

Though Mannon believes firmly in a capella worship, he takes a less hard-line stance than Hicks.

“There’s a fellowship, certainly, that’s based on Jesus Christ,” Mannon said. “And I think as we talk about that - about this whole issue of instrumental music - I think that that’s a fundamental thing to emphasize because it becomes easy to get sidetracked and to place more emphasis on this matter of instruments or non-instruments. All of a sudden, then, Christ is secondary, and I want to make sure that’s never the case.

Monterey Ex Church of Christ Elders turned Wolves.
“Churches of Christ are autonomous,
        and so I’m presuming that when churches make a decision to incorporate instruments in some way at some point,
        they’re doing so very thoughtfully. No
        and prayerfully
        and with a Godly intention.”

That means that they think that they are INDEPENDENT of the WORD of God. That is defined in Scripture and any "musical" content in the modern sense is left by God to MARK for AVOIDANCE.
