Also, the two videos below are of a Misty Edwards chantsong where she sings a story about seeing a god. The Bible says very clearly NO ONE has seen God, yet Misty is singing about seeing a god. There was an even better video which went side by side this song by Misty and some weird transcendental hypnotic song. Both use channeling - the repetitive chanting lyrics over and over. Both show people in a trance-like state.
"Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of heaven." After about 5 minutes of this mind-numbing junk, she gets to her story of seeing her god. She claims her god was running to the beat of the song...and he had fire in his eyes. Again, whatever god she's talking about, it's not the One, True, Living God, Jehovah.
Then Bickle comes on in the next clip and gives a "prophesy," and asks Misty to tell (sing) her story again.
This is baal worship. It's not worship to Jesus Christ.

Hmm. Well, it's definitely NOT the style of music I enjoy.  I admit to being bemused by the whole "prophetic" singing thing. I know of another worship leader who writes fresh music for every service, and sometimes writes lyrics on the fly, allegedly led by the Spirit. I haven't personally heard any of his stuff, either, so I can't comment on its validity or know whether it's similar to Misty Edwards.
That said, I'd have to know a lot more than simply watching those videos to judge this as "baal worship." There's a lot of room for figurative language in poetry and song lyrics, and saying "I saw the Lord" may be no different than Isaiah saying "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord high and lifted up...." As you well know, in a dream, you can have an impression of seeing someone or something without even seeing a physical representation. She didn't say she actually saw God *in the flesh* (TIC); she said she had a dream and saw Him in her dream. That's quite a bit different.
As for repetitive lyrics...do you know how many choir songs have repetitive lyrics and music patterns and CHANTS (otherwise known as "vamps")????? LOL!!!!
