I make no apology for liking Christian Rock music. It has been far more edifying to me than "Pentecostal Music" or "Country Gospel" or "Hymns". Not all Christian Rock is the same. IHOP music tho some of it is rock is different than Petra which is also rock. Both are completely about Jesus.

Heaven is going to be a loud place. YHWH likes loud music.

Because I associate myself with some group because I like something about them in no way means I would not contend with them over matters of truth or holiness.

Example:

I have been on this forum for around 6 years and almost 8000 posts. Do I agree with everything here? Hardly. Yet if someone examined my life they would find it "cultic" that I associate myself with Jesus Name Pentecostals.

I have to deal with these things and it has become insignificant to me what people think. I am Oneness Pentecostal. Yet I find very little else in common on this forum. Yet it is enough. I can be here among you and rejoice over the truth that you do have while contending for and promoting what I consider to be the faith once delivered to the saints.

I would do the same among some other group. So I am willing to cleanse myself of long hair. I did in 1974. Do I think someone who has it needs to not have it? Yes but I can realize they may have a heart for Christ so I will not just throw them away. Will I contend over it when I get the chance? Yes just like with any matter of truth.

Isn't that what I do here?

Just about anything can be justified. Music like rock, rap and country is connected to a lifestyle.

You condemn Christmas while one condemns rock music.

Even though I can't and could rarely ever stand rock, rap, and country, I feel that music is just that, music. Back about 50+ years ago, blues and jazz was connected to a lifestyle, and was called "the devil's music" now people don't get on people too much now for singing in those styles.

A lot of these styles have their root in gospel music, they just branched off to make something different.

What I feel is wrong is when people say they're singing in these styles for the Lord, but then try and imitate and mimick the spirit of how the world does when they're making and singing these songs.
