Independent Baptists have thus far, as I understand, stuck with the hymns and not gone “chorus”.
True, for the most part, though the rot is creeping into some Independent Baptist churches, not many, so far. But in these end days of apostasy and “itching ears”, no church is immune without constant vigilance. I know that the “7/11” music sometimes sneaks in through the recorded music used for the “specials” sung before the sermon. It takes a pastor, and indeed a church flock, with Berean discernment to keep the creeping rot of apostasy out.
