music does not mean there is not “hard core scripture”.

We shouldn’t get into an argument here, we have too much in common otherwise, but I think you should go back & Read Matthew 7:3-5 & consider carefully the attitudes of Jesus before condemning other Christians.

When in doubt, consider Jesus opening his arms & smiling to you “good job my good & faithful servant”. Can you honestly see him doing that for condemning the worship of other churches?

Of the genuine, believing churches, different churches have different personalities.

Different preachers have different specialties you’ll find. While any good preacher can preach on any subject inevitably they have a gift for one area or another.

Some churches are what I call gateway churches, they are adept at attracting new believers. Others are teaching churches, the preaching and the atmosphere seems to promote a good understanding of scripture and theology. Others are more spiritual, and seem to be more focused on the growth of the spirit. Others are more action oriented.

At various times in your life you may find yourself drawn toward one, and then later another. This may mean a shift from one denomination to another, it may simply mean another congregation of the same denomination. Early in your walk God may direct you to where you need to be for your growth; later you may find yourself in a church that needs what you have to offer.

I know that, you don't have to tell me. I'm talking about the MOTIVATIONS of those who go, not the pastors in these churches. Since I don't go to many of these mega-churches, I cannot at this time judge how deep or shallow their scriptural teachings are.

I know of some which don't go as deep, but I don't want a "church war" going on in this thread so they shall be un-named.
