Refusing to sing Bethel/Hillsong/Elevation music is not legalism, but binding that refusal on others crosses into judgmentalism — this is a conscience matter analogous to Paul's 'meat sold in the marketplace' principle.

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 15) 00:13:44 – 00:15:18

Q: Is it too legalistic to refuse to sing Bethel/Hillsong/Elevation music due to the doctrines of those churches?

Mike distinguishes personal conviction from binding others. The 1 Corinthians 8-10 meat-sold-in-marketplace analogy: meat offered to idols was not thereby made wrong to eat. Paul permits both choices and forbids judging each other over it.
