More discussion

So my last post left with the question...
Is God pleased with a variety of styles of worship within a single church when they divide His Body in two [or 3, or 4, etc.]?
Someone may say that I am assuming too much when I say that God is in fact pleased with a variety of styles. I think He is. Here is why. It all comes down to communication and relevance.

1. The incarnation of God [Jesus] is the ultimate example of God loving to communicate clearly and relevantly His love. God coming to us in human form says that He cares about making sense [concerning His love]. Some things we will never make sense of [holiness, trinity, etc.], but God's love needed to be represented in a very clear, understandable fashion.

2. Pentecost. God wants people to hear about His love in a way that they can understand in their hearts. When the flaming tongues fell and people heard words in their native tongues, God wanted everyone there to know [in a special way] that He was relevant. Recently I learned something interesting about that story. Everybody in that scene that day spoke Greek. Everyone could have heard the "wonders of God" in a familiar language [Acts 2:11]. But, God chose to communicate in their native tongues, their heart languages. In a special way He wanted them to hear the News not in a language they had come to know, but in the language they grew up with, the language their families spoke. God wanted them to not only hear it with their minds, but He wanted them to feel it in their hearts. That is relevance.

3. I believe that music is nothing more than a heart-language. We grow up on a certain style, or we hear a certain style at an impressionable age in our life, and that becomes our primary "language." Tons of styles of music exist in the world today. And no doubt different musical-languages exist under the same roof on Sunday at any church. So if in Acts 2 God wanted these people to hear His wonders in their own language, why should we approach music any differently today in the church? If half a congregation spoke Spanish, and the other half spoke English, we probably wouldn't make one half learn a new language as a prerequisite for worship. "Ok, we know half of you don't speak this language, but I'm sorry, that's the way we do our worship. Please get a Spanish/English dictionary and get to learning, or you're out of luck."

So why do we expect people to learn another musical-language? Shouldn't people be enabled in worship to use their musical "heart-language"?
