An example of a song I would not sing if it were presented as praise/worship in a church of which I was in attendance.

I have had a few examples of this happening in my family's church (which is arminian) I love them to death.. I do believe they are genuine christians, but I remember one song which had a lyric "Why won't you let HIM give you new life". I was like.. umm... we let God give us something? I don't think so... I stood up but did not join in singing the song.

Another example was of a song with a lyric that said "YOU died to save humanity". I was like.. hmm.. well in a categorical sense Christ died for human beings.. yes.. you could say that. But, I know that was not the intent of this particular song, the lyric was proclaiming the classic "Christ died for every single human in the world", which of course it not true.. Therefore I could not sing that song either.
