I don't think any Christian group is "doing" Christianity or "church services" similar to what was going on in the primitive church in Acts, which is probably a good thing given the mixture of Jews and Gentiles, slaves and masters, rich and poor that were together as followers of Jesus in those beginning days. What was undoubtably Jewish in flavor gradually changed as more Gentiles came to faith. To me the New Testament is profoundly reserved (not silent) regarding details on how to do "church". To be fair I think we need to admit that every branch of Christianity has a liturgy. Even we Protestants that proclaim "scripture alone" have a liturgy; it varies from Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist, Baptist, Methodist, to Pentacostal, and all the others. Even the local church of WL has a liturgy and if you "mess" with it you are likely to be shown the door. It seems in His teachings Jesus kept it simple, and Paul and the other Apostles kept it simple; so simple that almost all Christian groups can explain how their practice "fits" these teachings. Compared to the lengthy Old Testament prescriptions on worshipping God the New Testament is surprisingly quiet; perhaps leaving plenty of room for the varied expression of worship as societies develop throughout time. Although I'm most comfortable with my evangelical Protestant approach to worship, I fully respect and will try to appreciate all the variety of expression of worship in Christ's Church.
