Clear Teaching in the 'Old School'
I recommend this message because Bro. Floyd gives the clear teaching emanating from the Reformation, from the Old Baptists and the good Puritans — it's called "the Regulative Principe of Worship," which in essence states that we CAN ONLY WORSHIP GOD IN A MANNER CLEARLY DICTATED BY NEW TESTAMENT PRINCIPLE OR PRACTICE. What the Apostles of our Lovely Lord instituted in His worship is all we can legally have. And it's not a 'LEGALISM' but a part of our FREEDOM FROM THE OLD COVENANT WITH ITS TYPES AND SHADOWS.
This is "strict construction," much the same as the "Conservative" principle of interpreting the U.S. Constitution in governmental affairs. THE POWERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED TO THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT BY THE CONSTITUTION IS ALL THEY CAN LEGITIMATELY DO. But today the "liberals" and the "politically correct" will say, "Well, the Constitution doesn't prohibit so-and-so, thus the Federal Government may do it!" Same as the churches who ignore the N. T. principle of worshiping Jehovah God in and by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, under the leadership of God's Holy Spirit.
Hear Brother Floyd carefully before you reject the message. That's all I ask.
