Would God approve of us as a family dancing for family worship? Would he approve of me playing the drums when singing a hymn at family worship?
The reason I ask, is that it doesn't seem clear where we make those distinctions in the Bible between the different areas of worship. Doesn't it seem like all areas of worship should be governed by the RPW, rather than just corporate? I might be mistaken, but I don't really see the Bible making distinctions between private, family, and corporate worship, in the sense that we can do whatever we want outside of corporate worship.
In the same way, wouldn't we apply the same reasoning to a Christian band playing a worship concert on a Friday night at a baseball stadium? This would be classified as worship if they were singing to God, therefore the principles of worship would have to be followed, as it doesn't seem like the NT really makes a distinction between Sabbath worship and non-Sabbath worship.
