Thankfully the churches I attend do not have rock bands.
I don't think I would attend if they did. Nor do we have any swaying rememorized people during services.
Yet have you not experienced the positive?
Members get together and sit in a circle and sing songs and hymns with meaningful Christ centered words with only an acoustic guitar (no amplification or strong beat or wild strumming, or show, just sweet, simple singing), and in between songs sharing testimonies of faith, often triggered by the words of a song just sung. It can be a time when the holy Spirit is very near, and yes, sometimes it is as if the angels join in singing.
This is followed by a season of prayer, and then the speaker/preacher shares a message.
It's usually in small, less formal churches where this closeness, simplicity and sharing is experienced.
I would love to be a part of such a congregation! (there are church plants which I helped start but the conference refuses to acknowledge them so no money for a pastor)
We had a couple wonderful congregations here in this region but they fell to the world, and it all started around the time that women were ordained as elders. Once there were women elders EVERYTHING changed. The churches were sold and they tried to build a mega church.
God warned me for them but they would not listen.
I plead with God to show them their errors. But the more the Holy Spirit tries to convict them, the more they dig in their heals.
ANYONE who tries to convince them otherwise are very literally persecuted until they submit. And that is not the worst of it. I was the only person willing to stand against the secret baptizing of homosexuals in our congregation.
That pastor didn't even accept ordination in the SDA church and he laughed about it after putting the church into debt over 2 million dollars. They took away the SDA title and called it "the edge" and brought in a rick band and women elders and then asked the conference to let the pastor keep the tithe to support his "style he was accustom to". He claimed he was worth much more than the conference would give him because he was once the owner of a multi-million dollar company. His partner stole his empire from him and he openly admitted to fantasizing about murdering that man IN HIS SERMONS several times! He had obviously not forgiven him.
I tried and tried to convince him to repent, but he made it his mission to try to destroy me. I tried to reconcile with him even after I found out he was persecuting me behind my back but then he totally cut me off.
I have seen the worst that any of our churches has gone through and God led me right to it. I know He has given me the ministry to reveal these things and sigh and cry for those abominations.
I have not heard of one other person go through as much for righteousness sake in the modern SDA church of America than I have and I PRAISE GOD and thank Him for sending me the perfect wife to witness these things and strengthen my faith that God is with me through it all. Of course she had to come from another country to be isolated from the abominations.
