Hi yall,

I joined a non institutional church not too long ago. The elders interviewed me as a requirement to join my local NI church. I heard that there have been some rather strict requirements to join the NI churches from a mainline Church of Christ.

I have heard that sadly some NI churches require new members from the mainline churches to confess the " sin" of being in a mainline Church of Christ in order to join their NI church. I disagree strongly with that NI practice....Have any of yall heard of something similar or even stricter? Luckily me and my family didnt run into those strict requirements.

Hi yall,'

Have any of yall ran into people in the Church of Christ who were against listening to instrumental Christian music or hymns because they thought it could lead to instrumental music in worship or more acceptance of it.....My dad is that way.

I have heard of some people only listening to A Capella music at home because they are so against instruments. How common is this view in the Church of Christ. I grew up attending a middle of the road church and now go to a NI church. Going to Christian Concerts was discouraged when I was growing up. Sorry if this is a weird question.
