Bob Dyan was one of my favorites growing up in the 70' yet I am not sure he is realy saved at best it is just a profession. by the way Bob Dylan is not even his real name his real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman. he is a Jew beleive it or not. he never gives glory to Jesus once that I ever heard of. and here is some highlights he has been maried twice the last divorce in 1992, he was controversal when he revealed his conversion from Judaism to Christianity in three albums. Introduced the Beatles to marijuana after his conversion. not much of a Christian testimony now is there.

Worshipis one thing and entertainment is another as I stated before. my post was more against the worship using worldly means and methods. even Stephenos used the words worship with miinus one Reggae or as he called it DUB reggae.

When our minds have been made perfect along with our bodies and we stand before God we will know how to worship him correctly. until then we need to keep it simple, pure and holy. living in a fear of God more than a looseness that has penitrated many Christian organizations.

Salvation and differnt Bible version. go back through and read the way the NIV and KJV present the gospels and you will see there is a difference.

there is a group here using the NIV English and it's Tagalog versions. the people have been taught a works based Salvation. they were brarfing devils into bags over the last few weeks. Their Regggae, Rock nad Jazz worship time went on for two hours before and 30 minutes after their 15 minutes preaching of the word.

so are these peopel really saved by the same Gospel. things that are different are not the same. Different Bibles version will promote different Gospels.

these people say they love Jesus but they are in disobedience to God word. and while being disobedient week in and week out (some for years) they continue to have great spiritual experiences with what they believe to be Jesus and the Holy Ghost caused by the most part these long loud(9db) musical worship services.

I would rather you fill your hours with Christian lyrics or entertainment than to the lyrics of the world. but leave it to entertainment which is hollywoods profession. when it comes to worship we need to understand we worship a Awsome powerful almighty God and a little respectful fear in holiness is something we should always show when in worship. and that worship needs to be focused on what Christ has done. Not on what i have done, or how I am feeling should be done, or what I am doing at the moment.

By the way I wanted to put together a CD compilation of 101 ways to sing Amazing grace. I have heard t sang many different ways. i have heard the traditional classical style, to Giligans Island theme song, to Raw Hide, to two or three rock renditions both soft and hard Rock, a reggae version, a jazz rendition, a black Gospel rendition.

I am sure someone will come up with a Tecno version and a Rhythym and Blues version and most likely Grunge rock and a Goth version will pop up to.

I am sure you can find it done in tribal music because some missionary used wha they had. I bet you could find it in Carabean and Calypsso style too.

But these are inventions of men, that please mens senses. it may not necesarily please God's Senses.
