Hello Gallenwalsh,
I'm starting to think you ask questions even in your sleep :D :D :D
Are these the scriptures you are referring to? I didn't see any about 'rules' per se:
Eph 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
This is no different than 'having the mind of Christ', 'abiding in Him', 'mortifying the deeds of the body', etc. All of these things are worshiping God in spirit & truth and that is done by obeying the Lord and doing ALL that He commands.
These are good studies about worshiping in spirit & truth:
