I can rationally point out that being persecuted meant they had to be discreet.
Most churches were in HOMES..in fact all churches were till later when they started taking over or building their own temples.
Being in churches made them small
Having a small congregation meant the likelihood of having musicians in the congregation was SMALL
also being mostly POOR (as many Jews were at the time) meant not everyone had an instrument.
As the church grew larger and more accepted, musicians were brought into the church or church members trained for it.
Remember, this is not like today where an established church sends a piano playing wife out with a preach husband to start a church. THE Church had just begun

Oh please. Then go join the Church of Christ if you don't like music dude.
I did a quick study, and I'll do more in the future. From right now, based on what I know, they didn't have music, however they did have singing.
Do you worship in a church that has music?
If so, why?
Do you worship in a "pentecostal atmosphere" according to the modern definition of pentecostal atmosphere?
If so, why?
If you are on here trying to debate me, and you're involved in the same type of worship, praise, and similar church setting that I am, what is your point in this?
