ANSWER: No! Scriptural worship clearly consists of five separate and distinct acts: (1) Singing (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16), (2) Prayer (1 Timothy 2:8; Acts 2:42), (3) Teaching (2 Timothy 4:2; Acts 20:7), (4) Communion (1 Corinthians 11:23-30; Matthew 26:26-29), (5) Giving (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:7).

There is no command, example, or implication that authorizes simultaneous acts of worship. In other words, there is no authority for doing such. There is no difference in this false practice and the ungodly practice of using singing groups in which one group of Christians attempts to sing for every one assembled. The Bible teaches in the passages outlined above that every Christian is to sing when the singing is done! How can this be when some of the people are eating and drinking while others are singing? It cannot be done!
