The question:
When can an Exclusive Psalmist Sing Uninspired Songs in Good Conscience?
My initial premise is that those who apply the RPW to require singing Psalms only in worship would agree that to sing anything other than the Psalms in worship is sinful. Therefore when can songs outside the Psalter be sung in good conscience? Is it at home? During Family Worship? On any other day than Lord's Day? Anytime before the Call to Worship and after the Benediction?
Many may simply prefer to sing only Psalms at all times and that is understood, but when is it not sinful to sing outside the Psalter, say the Lord's Prayer or the Apostle's creed?
Grace,
This thread is not intended to debate the application of the Regulative Principal of Worship (RPW). The question is posed to those who are like minded in applying the RPW regarding the Exclusive Singing of Psalms in worship. Thus if debate is desired or necessary, let the debate be amongst the Psalter-only advocates.
