Re: Welcome Fellow Christians - Steve Pixler 8/17/
what is wrong with screaming, spitting and sweating. Don't knock it till you try it. I am very passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ and I think it is judgmental to say that unless we preach or teach a certain way you or wrong. I have heard screamers with no content and I have heard talkers with no content(about the Bible). I have heard screamers with plenty of content and talkers with plenty of content.
I don't think there is a biblical prescription to voice tone that must be followed. I won't judge you if you don't scream and you shouldn't judge me if I do. We should judge the content, but we become like movie critics when we run people down because of their presentation. I liked Pixlar's message over all, but I did get the impression he was getting unity in the church mixed up with unity with the world.
I am fine with different music styles of Christian music, styles of Christian dress, styles of Christian living, but we must not leave off being Christian. I don't know what Pixlar meant by differences, but he is accountable for how he uses his influence. I don't want to make people feel good about ungodliness, but I do believe that people are at different stages in their walk with God and we must be patient. If leadership models and teaches the Bible's teaching we do our part.
