Pilgrim Quotes:

1) It doesn't matter what "some people think" in regard to money. What matters is what God thinks. Nowhere in Scripture is there a direct statement which teaches that money, in and of itself, is evil. Nor is there to be found a principle that implies that having or using money is evil. What we do find is that the "love of money" is the root of all kinds of evil, which is a violation of the 10th Commandment.

Evangelist quote:
I agree with you , and this what I also meant about rap , that the love of worldly rap music can be the root of evil also.


Quote Pilgrim:

2) Your allowance of Rap, Hip-Hop, and other contemporary musical styles is apparently based upon: 1) pragmatism and 2) a misunderstanding about what it means to "glorify" God. The first has to be rejected out of hand as it has no basis whatsoever in Scripture, i.e., pragmatism is firmly grounded in relativism rather than propositional truth. The second, similar to pragmatism, is a very popular position but likewise unbiblical since invariably it entails doing whatever one thinks is useful, good, enjoyable, etc., and tacking on to it one's alleged intentions to "glorify God". This self-determined "glorification" of God has been around for several millennia. The first occurrence we read of it is found in Genesis 4:

Quote Evangelist

Do you think you can only worship God with dead music, or some funeral pipe oragan type of music?
It don't like grave yard music, as such, but I think we can with the right heart, and text worship God.

But, if I clearly taught elsewhere that repentance/belief alone was sufficient no one would think coming forward is necessary for salvation,or water baptism is necessary for salvation.
