You can be a "Christian Band" and sing secular songs. That happens a lot as well. [quote
How? It's an accusation that many worship leaders are not christians. While this may or may not be true, I don't see how it added anything to conversation about what Christian music is - it just leveled accusations and allows for some to be upset that they (if they are a worship leader) to feel insulted.

[quote Example: The new cover album from Stryper that they are going to be releasing (or released already, idk). Its got stuff from Black Sabbath to Kansas to Iron Maiden.Does this make them a secular band now? (My answer is no.)
It's not 750 A.D. anymore.Obviously not every person in the church is a Christian. Obviously they have the vocal capabilities to sing a song with God or Jesus in the words. That does not change the fact that even the definition of a Christian song is relative to many things such as your race, denomination, and life expiriences.
You don't have to say God or Jesus in your songs to be Christian music. If I make a cd full of songs about my favorite sports teams, it's not Christian Music, it's secular. You gotta have Biblical lyrics to be Christian, that's what makes us different, the Bible.Daniel

You can make a biblical album out of any subject matter simply by judging it with biblical ethics (i.e. you can talk about how the U always gets in trouble with the law and why that is bad )

If not, then neither are Christian bands who play "secular" music.
I used to have a dairy farm, and I'm a Christian. Did I produce Christian milk?
