Traditional Church Doctrines?
octoberose:
Well, I was thinking in my background they don't bring in musical instruments. It really is very prevalent in some 'non-denominational' churches. The belief is that we are told in Ephesians 5:19 to"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord".. Apparently the words for hymns or spiritual songs indicate A cappella. Also, the first century church is not believed to use instruments. It seems like a small thing, but I know people who could not in all good conscience sit in a church and sing with instruments.

To tack on, the whole "holiness" movement with it's various prohibitions.

I would agree with all the above, but also I would add:
1. Christian Patriotism
2. Loving your enemies and turn the other cheek
I know these subjects may have been covered lightly in e-mails and various studies, but I haven't heard too much on that in a while) and they would be great to be heard more in depth. But of course, this is just to answer curiousity.

1. Christian Patriotism
That is a good one. In many conservative churches if you don't stand lock step with supporting the military and every military action this country takes then your not a real believer. My church was like that. And in many of the mainline churches if your not a liberal and into social justice then your not a believer either.
