"Preaching, not music, is what gets people saved." Amen to that.

I'm sorry, is he really criticizing these people for not reflecting "the joy of the Lord" in their faces while he sits there with a frown doing nothing but judging? Is he seriously implying that there are no Russians who speak English? And did he really just condemn them for dancing to a song openly about faith when literally just a few years before that, this could get them tossed in Prison? How dare they be joyful and pretend they can understand another language! **munches popcorn**

Danny, do you profess to be a Christian ? YOU seem to be the most judgmental person here.

mackenzie I'm merely holding him to his own standards, and lo and behold, he does not pass them. Not my fault. :)

I have watched three of these videos and I am completely entertained. This guy makes me laugh.

He shoes a picture of the bands and say they have no hope on their faces, I don´t see hope in his either. Fallacy after fallacy. The Lord says in Ezekiel 11 he takes our heart of stone and gives us a flesh one and in Romans 8 and John 10 that we cannot be separated from him. If our heart now is Jesus' we follow him. Sorry, up to part 3 and already too many fallacies and phariseism. Won't stand it to part 7.

This guy just totally introduced to a bunch of Bands, I've never heard of :) Thanks Buddy!! LOL!

Man, u put it so well.

Praise God. I've heard those type of testimonies many times. Very encouraging.

5:25 " Let's take a listen to the music of Bride and see what kind of a gospel-message is coming through ..... " LOL !!!

Whats really funny, is about all the Gospel Hymns were derived from old Saloon Music...

I'd LOVE to talk to this guy anywhere! He has SUBSTANCE to his personality, which God gives to those who truly love Him.

I believe he was in Canada just today. Telling us that Phil Wickham is wrong music and does not praise God. I kindly disagreed with him.

I think that is a good point. Let's ask our selves in any situation, how would Jesus react or think about music, instruments etc. PPl don't understand that music is important to God, and we have to examine it according to the Word of God.

Wow, that was well put patika. Spot on.

Sheeps In Wolve's Clothing actually sounds kinda cool! Wish we had more of THOSE, than Wolves in Sheep's Clothing!

When I saw a portrait of Holy Soldier from the early 1990's, I knew this guy was not current. Holy Soldier complete changed their hair, lineup, and Christian music style.

This man would be shocked at how far we have fallen since then. I wonder if he is still around

You can still have bondage in your thinking. That is why we have to renew our mind.

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly When she was rockin' in the house of blue light Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty When she was rockin' to the east and west Lucille was oh so real When she didn't do her daddies will Come on baby, drive me crazy do it, do it I'm a Speed King, you gotta hear me sing I'm a Speed King See me fly - Deep Purple In Rock, track 1, Speed King come join the church of deep purple \m/

You're right - all musical instruments are valid.

Exactly. Had that very thing happen here in South Australia.

Thanks for all the fan mail kiddies

@YeshuaReinaSiempre Sorry for interrupting you, but what is your opinion on the following bands: Downhere, Hillsong?

dont dance dont sing dont pull mean faces dont show any passion just keep your face blank and talk real serious like.

Have you ever heard of 'Runing'? _just something that came to my mind as I read your comment. Witches do it will the dance. They are hand gestures they do as they dance to cast their spells._for as much as that info was worth sharing_

we shouldnt judge about GOD's words but let GOD to judge,,, thank you for what you are doing , but for myself , i will ask HOLY SPIRIT true spirit of GOD will lead me to truth and conviction,,,,,,that is the right way i believe.. Praise the LORD ,

this is over 20 years old

Look and see all he has done for me, I lift my hands in praise to Jesus Christ if a sinner comes to a concert and gets saved then where is the problem in that? I got saved at a christian rock concert in 1985 and there is nothing wrong with me. I have come a long way on a hard road but never has Jesus left me alone. And I think that people need to see Jesus first and not what they want to cut down that is be a BULLY!

Exactly right . The Lord did a number on a few years back about judging people by how they looked. It happenned with 2 different people, both very different, and in the same shop. It was amazing - but a liberating one. It would be wonderful if Jeff and Dana could see that truth. And that is one of the things Jesus challenged the Pharisees about.

the album was called "In Persecution". It's a symbolic representation of the persecution of christians. Once again... we all worship differently. have a nice day. :)

Thats great news Joel. And i believe it too. Its a great work that your doing. The bible says in the OT somewhere, "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might". What an inspiring verse. If only the fundie folk would step out and dare to take some initiative, do some different things, some creative endeavours. I'm sure it would lift the morale of the christian Church in America, and impact the world, rather than stay stuck in petty rules, judging everyone else .God bless

Changing the words does not change the spirit behind the music.

This was filmed at a Motel 6....

Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Amen! I totally agree with you. Whatever happened to the hymns which speak about his blood? Jesus is sure to come soon! Come Lord Jesus.

your times coming ....Job 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

(Ephesians 4:29) "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Are your conversations of a christ like manner with grace and compassion?

Amen well said ..I think they have examined themselves..They are locked in by this wicked music

I cant see it either.

now, now, temper, temper :) LOL

Christian Rock is what brought me to the Lord.

Boy, got someone here who actually knows his bible.

Russian Fan's dancing to Christian Music >> What a terrible sin. I am so glad I never went to Jeff Godwin's church - I would of been board to tears. Yes Jeff, I would love Bride to play at church on Sunday.

This guy needs to get HIS heart on track. Just because his heart thinks he is doing the right thing, doesnt mean he is.

alright. have a nice day.

Who or what is CCM?

This is the best, most Biblical expose` on "CCM" i have seen. If this grates with you please "examine yourselves, see IF you be in the Faith" 2 Corinthians 13:5

No, Jeff Godwin the does does NOT say that a person must "repent of their sins" to be saved. That sentence nor the command it portrays does not appear anywhere in the 66 books of the Bible. That is a false gospel. Godwin uses a bunch of phrases and wording that is nowhere found/commanded in the Bible. Sadly, I believe this has much to do with him be saturated by the false gospel of Jack Chick. The Bible clearly states that to be saved a person must place their FAITH in Jesus Christ, who He is (God and Savior) and what He did (die for their sins on the cross), and believe that He rose again (because only God could do that). It is faith in Him and what He did on the cross that alone saves. The scripture makes it clear that one is to put their faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, and this includes no works. Godwin places a bunch of works before the unsaved person, which they must perform to be saved. He doesn't mention the words faith or believe, which ARE the words the Bible uses in the gospel. He never mentions John 3:16, the actual gospel which Jesus Christ Himself gave to Nicodemus when he wanted to know how to be saved. And what did Paul tell the Philippian jailer, when he asked how to be saved? "BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved..." Did Jesus tell Nicodemus and did Paul tell the jailer, "You must get on your knees, break your heart, repent (confess) of your sins, call upon His name, and ask him into your heart"? NO. The English word "repent", which comes from Latin, in the Bible does not mean to confess. It doesn't mean to turn away from. The New Testament was written in Greek, and the word "metanoeo" was given the Latinized word "repent" in the KJV and in other early English Bibles, and metanoeo means simply to change your mind/change the way you think. In conjunction with the gospel, it means to change your mind from unbelief toward the gospel to belief of the gospel message. This is why the central word of salvation in the scripture is FAITH and BELIEVE. Turning from sins, confessing sins, to be saved is a work, and the Bible is clear that salvation does not come by works or any kind. Jesus Christ did all the WORK on the cross because we cannot. Even if we try to do works to become good enough, it doesn't make us perfect, which is what we have to be to go to heaven. If we could confess our sins somehow, or stop sinning, or turn from our sins -- all these false definitions given for the word repent by human teachers -- then Jesus Christ wouldn't have had to come to earth and do all the HARD WORK for us on the CROSS. Calling on His name or "confessing with the mouth" are not requirements for salvation, because as we know, and surely God knows it even more, there are people who cannot physically speak. But anyone who hears the gospel and receives the conviction of the Holy Spirit CAN with their mind/thoughts in conjunction with their heart, BELIEVE on the Jesus Christ and what He did for them. The message of the gospel in the Bible is "believe only" and on the One who did it ALL for us. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul clearly lays out what the gospel is, the one he delivered to the church, specifically laying out in verses 3 and 4 what the gospel is that a person must believe to be saved: "3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." This is how a person is saved. Anything else, anything that adds (especially terminology and instructions not stated in scripture) to the gospel is a FALSE gospel and cannot/will not save a person. Paul was clear again in Galatians chapter 1. Please get this right. It is the thin difference between eternity in heaven and eternity in hell.

"say that a person must "repent of their sins" to be saved. That sentence nor the command it portrays does not appear anywhere in the 66 books of the Bible"When the apostles preached in Acts, they called people to repent of their sins in order to be forgiven (See Acts 2:38, 3:19, 8:32, 17:30, 20:21, 26:20)

Yes. I did quite a lot of research - hours - and downloaded a lot of stuff. Have concluded what JG says isnt worth the bit electricity it took to boot up my computer.

@malikzzzzz Actually that doesn't fit into the analogy at all. I'm saying a song isn't evil just because it is of a certain genre or style of music.

Right on the money

the "superstar" in Jesus Christ superstar is ment to be code for Idol and glory full acourding to the writers .

I agree with you. It's irritating how ppl defend music so much. Why can't ppl except the Truth? Because they don't want to give up things, in this case it's the music.

(2 Timothy 3:15) "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." (Psalms 138:2) "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God magnifies his word above all his name, and it is for the Good preaching and teaching of the Word of God that I go to church, not for what kind of music.

Acts 13:10, "And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"

Jeremiah 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. You will be without excuse ..your luck has run out

@SomewhatSaints There isn't "version". Look up the origins. Lol

I love this band called As I Lay Dying, and I wouldnt want them to play at my church. Ok maybe I would but I know that the older folks wouldnt care for that. I am 17 and I go to church because I want to not because I am forced. I dont stay because I like the music, I stay because I love the Lord.

Amos 3:3. You love the Lord and love the world?

Also, I agree that we shouldn't change things just because we want people to come.

Exactly. Just what i've been trying to say.

I am a Christian and I do not agree with this guy. Are we supposd to just sit in church and praise Jesus? No we are supposed to show Him how happy we are that He saved us. The best way for me to do that is use the talent in rock music that God gave me to praise Him. God bless you

since when is dancing evil and no wonder there is a generation crying and hungry for Christ

That's the point. There is no hope in this world except Jesus having mercy on ppl that don't except the Truth.

im 40 yrs old and I changed from secular metal to hardcore christian metal...all I gotta say is most (not all) are very true to the LORD! I feel the holy spirit as im listening to lots of these bands in my room...thts how I know theyre real...don't judge cause ur a sinner to...its the kids that these guys are targeting...you have to go with the times and kids don't like boring traditional churches anymore if ever they did. these bands have changed many lives...thts what counts nt how they look!!

Don't confuse the work of the Holy Spirit with your feelings. Satan and the Holy Spirit are no in one accord. Amos 3:3

Yeah, i know, i was just telling Dana , 4 steps down

Thats ok. By the way, whats a troller. Maybe i misunderstood your message too. Do u like CCM ?

This is Jeff Godwin dude, he played heavy metal for a living before he was saved out of it by the Grace of God..He knows for a fact what he is talking about.

Actually he clearly says that he doesn't know their heart, but the Bible is a clear guide and obviously people hating this video don't know it.

Proud*

He does change his facial expression a couple of times. Also he almost laughs a couple of times as well.

He also wrote a great deal of the OT. He also repented each and every time he sinned. He also was said to be a man after God's own heart. I'd say, since his writings are still in the Bible, that we can pretty much take his advice.

Oh, to anyone who watches this and likes Bride, their new album will be coming out very soon. Also, if this guy would take the album Snakes In The Playground and read the lyrics, he would find that almost every lyric is pulled from the Bible. Each song that Bride did on that album always has a scriptural reference

@shiphrahhopeful I have done studies on the supposed evils of rock music itself for years, and continue to find various inconsistencies and leaps of logic. One of the biggest problems facing the argument is the fact that the Bible is completely silent on any type of music being wrong. Obviously, it can't speak on rock music, since it wasn't around then, but there is simply no statement at all that any particular style of music is, in itself, evil.

I think you're right. He's being very very very very serious.

...He can't be Lord of Glory and a Superstar?

I think most of the bands he mentioned got more notoriety in these videos than when they were around.

@SomewhatSaints So when Satan quoted scripture, I guess he's holy now according to you analogy?

That's a two parter, janb93, I'm posting from a tablet, so your answer might not be linked to your question. Anyway:

1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the[ feebleminded,] support the weak, be patient toward all men.

HalLeLuYAH

boy that was well said.

@malikzzzzz Rock music, itself, isn't evil. I know why, but enlighten me with your version.

@RichieEastside And then, of course, there is Martin Luther, who used a popular barroom drinking song for the the music in "A Mighty Fortress." Apparently that was considered quite controversial at the time. You have to wonder how this guy felt about that song.

Not I, but the bible says: (Colossians 3:8) "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth." (James 3:9-12) "Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. {10} Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. {11} Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Thats right

.....with a solid guarantee to turn off people who could have entered into the joy of a brand new relationship with the living God.

Didn't I try to convey that to you? So what is your argument?

Hell will accomadate you Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. you will believe but it will be to late..

Well no but I do stand complete in Jesus Christ...Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God....Have a good evening Nikki

It's weird seeing this guy so calm when he talks. Whenever he speaks in front of a live audience he sounds angry...scary even. He acts like Hitler.

@YeshuaReinaSiempre I agree wholeheartedly. I was saying that this assessment that it's voodoo seems poorly researched. Namely, it seems to be more using the vocals as instruments rather than actual singing. You know, lalala?

You've been warned...that has no regard for Gods word ...Jeremiah 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. .

Christian metal is so direct in many cases and cannot be taken satanic in any way. for example: You are the blessing and I am the curse I'm ready to run like a child away from the hell I deserve You are the garden and I am the drought I'm emptied over the weeks away Too fond of this bed to see it out This is from a song called The blessing and the curse by Phinehas. All of the bible verses you use against use can be used back at you. You have said that our hearts deceive ourselves but maybe your heart has deceived you. Many people who listen to metal need this kind of positive reinforcement in their lives. So many times I have heard of people who end of committing their life to Christ because this music led them to Him. Christian metal serves as ministry and praise.

Ooh, nice to see someone who studies the bible well, with a good grip on theology.

cont..."would u have them play at your church?" He likes to be sneaky - i'm not a Bride fan myself, but on a Sunday morning at church, i think i would prefer the choruses we have, becoz, they are appropriate for the setting theyre used in,+ we can all sing to them and just enjo the Lord. At home tho', i like to play all kinds of genre, mostly CCM on my cd player while i'm working or washing dishes. He's automatically assumed "evengelism" of CCM. as if every muso is trying to do that. cont...

O, i meant christian contemporary music.

You may be right on the Christmas thing. The Easter thing too. Very legalistic.

Sorry 4 my interruption. But Hillsongs in Australia do not do covers of Metallica etc. YeshuaRS is pulling your leg.

Hes sad that most of these rockers are hell bound

1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils

God uses music to send his message of salvation to the world? (John 3:3) "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (1 Peter 1:23) "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

I think they just imagine it
