I grew up in the CoC. The emphasis on baptism made me think that obeying the Sermon on the Mount was necessary for salvation. The preacher preached red faced yelling sermons. He was from Indiana. A few years ago, I visited the CoC that I grew up in. A different pastor with a more evangelical view of salvation "it's in the water where the Spirit meets the blood."
No musical instruments, I heard that is true of southern CoC but not in the northern USA.
there was a country song, "hit the bar on Saturday night, Church of Christ on Sunday morn."
I got the impression that attending CoC was cultural for many in the southern USA.
