So, rational or spiritual worship is EXCLUSIVE of music which disables the mind.

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.

Eth. 1103a.14 book 2.1. Virtue being, as we have seen, of two kinds, intellectual and moral, intellectual virtue is for the most part both produced and increased by instruction, and therefore requires experience and time; whereas moral or ethical virtue is the product of habit （ethos, and has indeed derived its name, with a slight variation of form, from that word.1 1.

The Ekklesia does not make up its on subject of discussion. The ekklesia or church is commanded to "speak one to another" with "that which is written for our learning" and then discuss it. There are no lecturers. For instance:
Plat. Meno 75d I have made my statement; if it is wrong, your business is to examine and refute it. But if, like you and me on this occasion, we were friends and chose to have a discussion together, I should have to reply in some milder tone more suited to dialectic. The more dialectical way, I suppose, is not merely to answer what is true, but also to make use of those points which the questioned person acknowledges he knows. And this is the way in which I shall now try to argue with you. Tell me, is there something you call an end? Such a thing, I mean,Rational or spiritual worship is Opposite

God pronounces anathema on pseudo-prophets who speak their own words and claim that they are the words of the Spirit of Christ.
Jeremiah 23:25 I have heard what the prophets have said,
who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies,
even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Jeremiah 23:27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Xen. Apol. 12 12] As for introducing ‘new divinities,’ how could I be guilty of that merely in asserting that a voice of God is made manifest to me indicating my duty? Surely those who take their omens from the cries of birds and the utterances of men form their judgments on ‘voices.’ Will any one dispute either that thunder utters its ‘voice,’ or that it is an omen of the greatest moment? Does not the very priestess who sits on the tripod at Delphi divulge the god's will through a ‘voice’?
