That is "Loving" Him, not the practice of worship that He has proscribed that we practice.
The devil himself loves to quote scripture, please don't do the same as he.

Please show me the Scriptures when He proscribed what worship we are to practice?
It was on the Day of Pentecost that Jesus SHED forth the Holy Ghost. And the evidence that the Holy Ghost had taken up residence in the individuals was they spoke in tongues. (Acts 2:2-4, 32-33)
"And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:2-4
"This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear." Acts 2:32-33

Brother,
i love you and everyone on here, including those who seek to cause harm thru unbelief.
You continually provide the scriptural evidence of that which i confirm = thank you
Dwell on this: The Disciples were saved and Born-Again before the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
Now is time for you to dwell deep into all scripture beginning in Genesis.

The topic is far from inconsequential and ridiculous. It addresses issues relevant to one's salvation.
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, IF so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." Romans 8:9-11

Are you accusing people of seeking to cause harm?
No they weren't. Nobody was born again before the day of Pentecost. That was the first time the Christian new birth became available. It's the new birth, the receiving of the gift of the Holy Spirit, that guarantees a person's salvation (Eph 1:13-14). If you're going to bring up John 20:22, Jesus was giving the disciples instruction on what would soon take place.

Thanks for the thoughts.... I disagree.... if this scripture is, indeed inspired, then it is indeed a punch list. Tongue speakers use this scripture as the verification that ALL believers MUST speak in tongues, or be forever viewed as being somehow flawed in faith or belief.
If one item on the list is required, then ALL are required. It cannot be both ways.

Also, let's don't skip over the part that says they believed and were baptized.... this matches exactly with what Peter taught at Pentecost... repent and be baptized, and you WILL receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
It takes belief (hearing first, of course) repentance and baptism.... and we are told we WILL receive the Spirit.
