Why Don’t You…

I. Why Don’t You Use Mechanical Instruments?

Our stand not based on... Affordability Dislike Desire to be different

Our stand harmonizes with NT Teaching Mt.28:18… (Jn.16) He taught; Apostles repeat. Acts 2:42 NT tells us what He wants; we do it. 2 Jn.9 NT tells us where to stop; we stop. Does NT authorize mechanical music? Does NT authorize singing? (Ep.5:19) Does NT authorize mechanical music? Does NT authorize singing? (Ep.5:19)

Our stand harmonizes with NT Teaching 2. OT Teaching “But OT authorized mechanical music” How do you know? You can read it.

OT taught same respect for authority as NT Jer.36 OT prophecy: spiritual covenant would replace physical You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the L ORD your God which I command you – Dt.4:2

Old TestamentNew Testament Animal sacrifices, Animal sacrifices, Ps.66:13-15 Aaron: priesthood, Aaron: priesthood, Ex.28 Harps Harps…Ps.150 Living sacrifices, Living sacrifices, Ro.12:1 Jesus: High Priest, Jesus: High Priest, Hb.7; 13:10-16 Heart, Heart, Ep.5:19

Our stand harmonizes with NT Teaching 2. OT Teaching 3. Leaders of protestant denominations “The Greek Church disapproves the use of organs. The Latin Church introduced it pretty generally, but not without the protest of eminent men, so that even in the Council of Trent, a motion was made though not carried, to prohibit the organ at least in the mass” – P. Schaff, History of the Christian Church, IV, 439

“I have no objection to instruments of music in our chapels, provided they are neither HEARD nor SEEN” – John Wesley “I say the same, though I think the expense of purchase had better be spared” – Adam Clarke, IV, 686 “Musical instruments in celebrating the praises of God would be no more suitable than the burning of incense, the lighting up of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of the law” – John Calvin, Ps.33

I. Why Don’t You Use Mechanical Instruments? II. Why Don’t You Baptize Babies?

To be forgiven of sins, we must obey Lord taught Mt.28:18-20, must be taught believe Mk.16:15-16, must be able to believe repent Lk.24:47-49, able to repent 1. Can infants do these things? 2. Babies are innocent (safe). Jon.4 Some “baptize” those who don’t need it, refuse those who do

Babies are seldom (if ever) baptized Most are sprinkled Baptize: a transliteration If translated: immerse (Ro.6:4-5) Baptized by sprinkling? Run by riding in a car? Jn.3:23Mt.3:16Ac.8:35-39

I. Why Don’t You Use Mechanical Instruments? II. Why Don’t You Baptize Babies? II. Why Don’t You Abandon Baptismal Regeneration?

Most people know only what their preachers say Some preachers misrepresent truth Baptismal regeneration: “A sacrament of the New Law instituted by Jesus Christ, in which, as a result of washing with water accom- panied by the words ‘I baptize thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost,’ a human being is spiritually regenerated, and made capable of receiving the other sacraments” –Donald Attwater, A Catholic Dictionary

The truth Baptism is not a sacrament Baptism does not remove sin w/o faith and repentance With faith and repentance, God’s mercy regenerates at baptism, Tit.3:5

What does NT teach about purpose of baptism? To be savedMk.16:16; 1 Pt.3:21 Remission of sinsAc.2:38; Mt.26:28 Wash away sinsAc.22:16 Get into ChristRo.3:3-6 Put on ChristGal.3:26-27

“But I don’t think baptism matters” youGod Who are you? Who is God? God What God says does not matter? 2 K.5, Naaman Save Remission Wash away Get into Put on When these words occur in context if physical illness…? …Rescue? …Finances?
