Did I say that I agree with Rich Mullins theology?

I never mentioned "clapping" my hands, did I?
No, and I didn’t say YOU did. What I stated is, “This and many other songs today Christians enjoy "clapping" their hands to.” YOUR name was not mentioned, but the statement is still true! However, YOU “now” state that YOU do agree with hand clapping—what version of clapping do YOU agree with? (i.e. the American football hand clapping, rhythm clapping, or the ancient Jewish liturgy of hand clapping). Have you studied this out?

You haven't addressed my scriptural references either.
What is the need of addressing them as none of them disprove the regulative principle? Which one of them proves that irreverent music is allowed to be played for worship?

So I don't have anything against contemporary worship styles, and until I am convinced otherwise from scripture that it is against the will of God to use instruments and or sing anything but the psalms, I will continue to believe what I believe.
And where did I say it was against Scripture to sing hymns or use instruments? Regulative Worship (from my viewpoint) is not against such—however it is against the misuse of such. (yes, I know some using the regulative principle are against such--and they are sincerely wrong).

Dave no one is jumping on you and please don’t interpret my post as such—you do us both an injustice. If you will notice my former post was full of questions. Their intent was to make you think through the matter at hand from a biblical perspective and not “react” as you have. I do not doubt your sincerity on the issue, however one may be sincerely wrong about a given issue as well and be doing himself/herself harm in the Kingdom—a point that was brought out in the commentary on Mullins above (i.e. “All that said I do think Rich Mullins was a Christian, however one that was mis-directed when it came to the genuine worship of God.”).
