I know there would be heckling, but at the same time i think they also need to see that Christians have the freedom to live and let live as well. For the freedom I enjoy may not be the same freedom you enjoy. We are 'free' to experience as much or as little grace as we can process and still Love God with all of our being.
Christ puts it the best when He said: "What ever you bind here on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose here on Earth will be loosed in Heaven." Paul's dealings with this concept had him speak on the consumption of meat offered to idols. In the end he sumized that if you think something a sin(even if it is not) then for you, it is.
I did read your response, and i respect it. I was there for a long time myself. Matter of fact did some of my best works under the idea needing to stick to the law. (Nothing wrong with that if this is 110%of what God has given you to give.)
Meaning if this is where you need to be then do not think I am telling/teaching you to sin.. Also know that when/if you are ready the bible will grow with you. Whatever that may mean for you. If you Keep God at the center and put all your love into how you worship, then whatever that may look like it will pleasing to God.
In the end that's what it is all about. Not denominations, traditional worship nor even the act of worship itself..
