To comment on old people liking this, I liked when I got saved back in 1980 and still love it now when I am almost 63. Some of us refuse to grow up. God bless.
This was my early teen years, right here! I was a big Petra fan when I was 14, and I'd listen to "We Exalt Thee" over and over again, just contemplating on the infinite vastness of God, Heaven and the cross.
@ogrepack1976 Who are you or anybody to say how can the Lord use someone or limit his power to any sort of music? The Lord has TRULY blessed me through alot of Petra's songs, and I'm sure that alot of lives have been saved at Petras concerts! Praise the Lord for that! We as christians, must be always careful not to judge! May God Bless you!
@The christian guy who thinks this is un-christian: Tihihi. Tank tops are the new satanism. Given that I'm not a christian, haven't been for a long time, but I still sometimes listen to Petra for nostalgic reasons and because I just like their music - wouldn't you say that here is their chance to get me back? If so, isn't that a good thing (from your perspective)?
Jesus would never go near to a Samaritan woman if He thought the Jews had no dealing with the Samaritans, but for the sake of one soul, Jesus chose the right thing to go near talked to a Samaritan woman. These musicians did the same thing.
I don't understand what you're getting at because the Bible says nothing against using rock music as a medium to draw God's people into worship. Psalm 150 doesn't even specify what genre(s) of music qualify as being worship music. If it's getting people into an attitude of worship, it shouldn't matter what kind of music it is. Don't bash Petra because they don't fit your own personal standard of what worship is.
When Christ gave Peter the keys to Heaven my friend, he established Peter as a pillar of the word. Thats why in Acts 2:38 Peter established the form (and only form) of repentance and washing away sins in the name of the Lord Jesus... not father, son, holy ghost. Yet another issue for you "Confess Jesus as saviour" only, liberals.
I agree...do not be conformed to the ways of the world. I heard from a highly reliable source (a reformed metal fan) they used to open for Ozzy Osbourne. I'm not saying it's not possible to get saved at one of their concerts, but this is not true Christianity...sorry...you'll never change my mind...stop trying to be like the world...draw the world closer to Christ...do not pull Christianity down to the level of something associated with rebellion and darkness.
nice. they made God's worship music so similar to a Rock Concert. That really shows a seperation of the World. Tank tops, crazy hair. They don't even know that the Apostles would've been so against they're form of bringing God into the likeness of the world.
