In the Principles List discussion forum, answer the following two questions. Make your initial message, then respond to messages from two or more students. What should you add to be faithful to your religious tradition? This question is confusing and ambiguous. Can you explain how exactly a religious tradition and theological particulars are different? If you're a Christian, you're in my faith tradition in my opinion =0), but I'm sure we'd disagree on a lot on that last point. I will therefore return by default to what I said earlier; When I go to church, I am looking for the gospel, not a preacher of the law who spends his time manipulating people into doing the outward will of God, rather than preaching the word and waiting for the spirit of God causes divine sadness in our hearts. making us desire that God and His will be done (2 Corinthians 7). If anyone has a better explanation of the question and you think I missed it, please help me. Are there any theological particularities that need to be represented in your list of biblical principles for worship design? #1 I'm Baptist and we like to do the immersion thing =0) I'm a member of a large church, so we basically have a videographer who records a testimony and plays it during the service, then we dunk them (we have a baptism pool under our worship stage). It is not unusual for me to walk in with a bored heart and mind and be so reassured by a new Christian's obedience to God's word.#2 We take the Bible seriously and try to read as the original author intended. so that his audience understands him. You won't hear much about spiritual allegories unless they actually are. I know some churches that just seem able to take a Bible verse from the middle of a paper...yes, hearts and ears have been opened to your dependence on God and His provision. The length of our corporate prayers usually varies just so that when people say a short prayer, they don't feel obligated to fill the dead air with nonsense. Some men pray briefly and carefully, and others pray long and expressively, fulfilling the purpose God has given them, but no matter who does it or how they do it, it feels real (perhaps the affectionate word ). , or sincere) When I think of prayer failures, I think of those made by people who try to include all "faiths." So they will pray something very general and not offensive to anyone (except atheists).#5 I would also include the other three things I mentioned above in this list. When I think about my church and what I would strive to achieve through leading worship, I think this is a good start..
