    If a person cannot distinguish between music appropriate for entertainment and music appropriate for spiritual worship and edification, they have no business attempting to make determinations regarding the issue.

    What's appropriate for you (or any one person) to be led into worship isn't the standard, and every one else is wrong.

    Yes, in my church there are some things that I believe would be appropriate, and some that wouldn't (rap and disco, for example). But, just because I wouldn't use some other style of music that others may use for worship doesn't mean they are wrong or evil.

    My opinion isn't the standard for all Believers. Neither is yours, BGFT's, or anyone else's.

    agreed there is a distinction...

    however, the OP simply asked, "Should some beats be avoided?" No qualifier was given.

    Rock and roll is the term coined for fornication, and the self-styled music that was written to enhance the atmosphere. Instead of using the term Christian Rock music, we should refer to it in its original form- Christian fornication music. Now as both you and rbell you are pastors of some sort, do you both believe that churches should provide Christian fornication music?

    CCM was around long before Rick Warren.

    I'll go a bit further. If a person doesn't have the basic knowledge of music to understand that all music has a beat, they have no business talking about music in any way.

    PS. Just to be clear, I am in no way saying that I think you are the one doing this, Alex.

    Actually they need to go back to first grade music class... and learn how to read music...
    Someone like that will have no idea with 4/4 means at the front of the song... They will probably think that 3/4 is more holier because 3 refers to the trinity!!!
    These last 2 pages are ridiculous, and just show the ignorance that some people have!!!
    I listened to CCM in the early 80s long before Warren was doing anything popular!

    I just love how people that hold to pagan ideas call Christians that listen to CCM unholy...

    The last 2 pages are why people laugh at Christians.. Some are so ignorant of some basics.

    The post you linked earlier is one man's incorrect interpretation of scripture. To assume that rock music was the "strange fire" is absurd. There is no reference to it in scripture.

    Again, that man was spouting his opinion, not interpreting scripture.

    Are you saying that artists such as, let's say, Casting Crowns, promote fornication?

    Careful about lobbing false accusations at brothers in Christ....that's a no-no.

    This is some of the most ridiculous stuff I've read in a long time.

    Statements like that only mean you really don't want to answer the question.

    Do you promote Christian fornication music in churches or not?

    There is no such thing. Just because someone comes up with some weird new title for what they don't like doesn't mean it exists.

    I promote honest expressions of worship, to whatever style of music (or no music at all) someone wants. For one person to say that someone else's worship is "of the devil" or "evil" is absolutely wrong.

    (bolded for emphasis)

    "those who are not meant to be there"

    And you are God!!! to declare who should be at church???!!!!:tonofbricks:
    Uh, huh.. I don't know how we missed this quote back on page 6..
    but this explains what is in the heart of this poster...

    We gotta keep them sinners out... they are not like us.. we are saints, and God's word should only be preached to us...

    Sorry, you are trying to play God here, and Christ told us to preach to sinners...

    but of course, it is obvious you don't consider yourself a sinner.. you are a saint...

    Man, God must have messed up letting Paul write in the NT.. why, you are so much clearly holier than he was.. He even admitted he was a sinner...
    Chief of sinners!

    Hmmm..

    Go on, live in your little four room sanctuary, calling all other Christians that don't worship like you do, "unholy".. And when we get to Heaven, God will judge...

    So now we have, not only, ignorance of elementary, 1st grade music, but also, self-righteousness in a poster that claims CCM is "of the devil" (Can anyone here but me hear the momma in WAterboy" "CCM is of the Devil!!!"
    Pagan philosophy again raises it's head in Christianity.. along with ignorance, and self-righteousness...
    OK, what is next? Oh, I bet he plays the card.. Drums come from pagan nations... (the article linked earlier claims this) Well guess what...
    That unholy thing called a banjo, that doesn't play melody, came from a pagan nation.... Thank God, we can throw bluegrass out of churches!!!!

    Obviously then what I said applies to you so let me say it again.

    If a person cannot distinguish between music appropriate for entertainment and music appropriate for spiritual worship and edification, they have no business attempting to make determinations regarding the issue.
