According to Rev. Strange, after he attending the La. Campmeeting Service on Wednesday nite, he sensed the sounds of idol worship and chanting during the service. This nite, the worship was lead by MM and the worship team from the POA.
Here is Rev. Strange remarks concerning the worship from this nite.
"Moses coming down the mountain heard strange music. He heard a strange sound. He knew something was wrong from the sound. Someone could have said, "Oh never mind, Moses, these young people have come up with their own sound. They ware worshipping the Lord in their own way and music."
Moses would have known better. He was right. The music was the sound of worship of an idol made of gold. Such sounds will always be different than that of divine consecreation music. The sound of the uncircucised should not be hard to recognize for those that have their ears and eyes turned toward heaven.
I am hearing the worship of an idol. While we have stood stoutly with our standards at the front door of the church, the enemy has slipped in through the back door and has erected an idol in our very midst, under our noses and we did not see it coming. "
The songs that were sung that nite were "There is No God Like Our God", "How Great Is Our God", "How Great Thou Art", "When I Speak Your Name" and "To Worship You I Live".
According to Rev. Strange, this was the music that caused the "Idol Worship" and "weird chanting".
You possibly need to use caution when using these songs in your worship service!!
I have read some purposeful ugly things but not like this from a christian.
This sound like junior high.
Oh great, here we go, I was waiting for THIS card to be pulled out of the deck, sheesh! Whatever Matt!!!
I remember this same hogwash about an apostolic band back in the day and if I would have listened to this nonsense, I would not have darkened a church door. It was Christian rock musicians who reached out to me and met me at the point of MY needs...I related to them and THEIR experience. Sheesh.
Although that is no longer my preference of music, I thank GOD for it, it was an avenue to HIM. Puhleeeeze, how old are you???????
This reminds me of a singspiration that we went to one time. There was a rock band that had received the Holy Ghost. The band played and sang that night, and while they were singing, my brother leaned over to me and asked me if I had a cigarette!!!!

The things that have been said at our altars when working with waaay outsiders, he he. I can't tell it all here!
I think there is a difference in someone expressing their feelings and expressing what they felt.
Felt comes from the word feelings. We feel things all the time. We feel with our hands. We feel with our eyes and mind (perception). Some people feel they have seen UFOs and others feel it was some thing else

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
