Change can be for better or for worse. The disciples of David Koresh, for example, were no doubt “profoundly” changed, but I don’t see that kind of change being for the good or to be a turning toward God and His will for us.
They say practice makes perfect. But more precisely, right practice makes perfect. If I were to practice soccer incorrectly, for example, by carrying the ball in my hands to the other goal and throwing it in the opponent’s goal with my hands, that kind of practice would not perfect me in soccer. Nor would such “heterodox” practice be very charitable to others I call my coach and teammates.
Our purpose as human beings is no different. Right practice (worship) makes perfect. Wrong practice leads us away from perfection.
Thus, if right worship makes perfect, then right worship necessarily includes a correct understanding of “who” we are to worship. If I worship my left foot, no matter how pious my worship, it will not perfect me as a human being. Right worship necessarily means worshipping the one true God–in the manner revealed by Him (the one who ought to know our highest good).
