I do believe that is "spiritual" to worship God. As such, the moment a person believes in Jesus Christ and is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, they are ready and able to worship God. Now, as with all aspects of sanctification, the Holy Spirit increases our capacity and understanding of worship over time. Certainly, a person who has been a Christian for 40 years should worship to a fuller extent than a person who just became one. Now, since we are still corrupted by sin, our worship is constantly corrupted, perhaps even to the point of being completely defaced and antagonistic to the God we claim to worship. Like everything, our worship is only worthy because the Holy Spirit sanctifies and purifies it. If this is true, then we should be asking, "What does Spirit-sanctified (Spirit-filled?) worship look like?"
