Well, they don't really decide that people will mosh, people just do it on their own. The Bible tells us to dance, but it's pretty much impossible to when you have such a crowded group of people, so moshing is the only alternative. Guess you've never been in a pit before? You do know what I'm talking about, right?
Right.
Right.
I've never been to one of their shows, but I don't think they dance.
Why should that amaze you? I know you only consider them "pseudo-Christians" and not "real" Christians but even "pseudo-Christians" should want to follow Biblical commands.
Correct. They're not a Christian band because they don't want that label, people hear "Christian music" and walls automatically fly up. Also because they don't pander(not the right word, but I think you get the idea) to the Christian "mini-world" that most other bands play specifically for. By not being labeled Christian, they have more opportunties outside the Christian world, and isn't that were we should really be doing our witnessing?
I think you got the wrong impression(I have a feeling not by accident). They don't do a lot of dancing, Sonny just does a little bit when he's not singing. And it's not chereographed or anything. Whoever said they did it because God commanded it? I'm assuming Sonny does it just because the type of music they play is infectious, it makes you want to dance. It just so happens that God also told us to dance.
Actually, they said that their music is for anyone that will listen, but lets not let the facts interfere with a good story.
I've heard Sonny's testimony, but I don't have a link for it. If you want it, try doing a search for it on google.com, but I'm sure your not really that interested. As for denomination, as far as I know they're nondenom, but I really don't have the slightest clue. I know they have a "road pastor" that travels with them, and they'll often have meetings with pastors on the road. I believe someone mentions this in the interviews I posted.
Ahhh. Thanks for clearing that up. Since that's the case, I guess most what we call "missionaries" aren't really missionaries then, since apostles is a fairly elect group. So if that is the case, then I misspoke and apologize. So what would you call the people we send to foreign countries to share God's love with the unsaved? I want to know your viewpoint so I know exactly how to answer your question.
While I think most of what you say contains enough false teaching and obfuscation to start a cult
this is an excellent question. One can only be for the world or against it, and to be against it means using your God given talents to reach the unsaved and minister to those in need. I don't see any evidence of that in today's "Christian" pop culture.Well you didn't answer my question, but that's ok, I understand why.

I also work at a Christian music festival called Creation, and I've seen the fruits that have come from it. I've also attended events like Fallout seen the kids step up to accept Christ.
