The Scriptural Record
The following list includes every reference to the type of music which the early New Testament church used in worship to God. An examination of these Scriptures make plain the kind of music which God designed for His church.
1) And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Mt. of Olives - Matt 26:30; Mark 14:26.
2) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God - Acts 16:25.
3) For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name - Romans 15:9.
4) I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also - 1Cor 14:15.
5) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord - Eph 5:19.
6) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord- Col 3:16.
7) In the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee - Heb 2:12.
8) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms - James 5:13.
Conclusions Drawn from Consideration of the Scriptures
Where in the inspired record of the New Testament church is there found a single reference authorizing instrumental music in worship? Nowhere! The most careful, meticulous investigation of the New Testament will not produce a single word in favor of this practice. One may search the New Testament in vain for either command, example, or inference for the use of Musical Instruments in worship service.
The Lord's church is a New Testament institution, and the New Testament tells the items of worship the Lord put in it. It has been shown that the New testament is silent concerning instrumental music in the worship. It is evident that those who do use musical instruments in the worship service do without Scriptural authority.
When Christ ascended back into heaven, the Holy Spirit undertook to guide the disciples of Christ in their activities of worship (John 16:13). The Spirit guided the apostles into singing and into exhorting others to sing, but the Spirit never guided the apostles into performing upon instruments in worship or into exhorting others to do so

Why do some denominations forbid the use of musical instruments in their worship services?
Some denominations feel that, in regards to worship services, specifics not explicitly permitted in the New Testament are not permitted, even if they are permitted in the Old Testament. Modern conveniences, such as electric lighting, are excused as "aids" to worship. Only a very few denominations have such a belief. One is the Church Of Christ. The majority do not subscribe to this belief. One of the main scriptures they use to base the belief that you are to not use musical instruments is In Ephesians 5:19, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."
