In the OT the Temple and Tabernacle were dedicated with religious services, but I wonder if this means that we should have building dedications in the NT? My gut is no, since God has not required buildings to be built, but it seems very common, even among RPW-affirming churches.
How would you feel about a new church building being dedicated on the Lord's Day? Not just mentioned in thankful prayer during a worship service, but a specific service called for a dedication?
If you think that those sort of dedications fall within the scope of the RPW, what form should they take; what elements are commanded for them?
Thanks in advance
