All I asked was you to pray for discernment, so instead of justifying why you are right. Why not just pray bro?
Read the whole article and what the Bible MAKES very clear. You either agree with the Bible, or you don't.
I'm sorry but I don't need to pray about something silly like this. The bible says nothing about Rock music, or music of any kind for that matter. Where the bible is silent, it is open for interpretation as long as it doesn't conflict with other areas of the bible.
For you to justify "gospel" music but condemn rock music is nothing more than a bias on your part. There is nothing scriptural about this, it is simply your opinion.
Romans 14:23 says whatever doesn't come from faith is sin. Christian rock comes from faith. They are professing their love for Christ in a way they know how. You should also read Romans 14. It will shed some light on this matter.
This has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing about the bible. The bible says NOTHING about music. You are finding random quotes to back your flawed logic. Again, we celebrate Christmas.. which was a pagan holiday. You say "you can with your family, that's your choice.." So we can sin with our families, just not with anyone else? How does that makes sense?
Keep in mind Paul became all things to all people to reach the lost. (1 Corinthians 9) No we are not to be "of" the world, but we are to be in the world. We cannot reach the lost without being in the world. Paul recognized that and mingled with the non-believers so he could convert them. He did not allow the non-believer to convert him, rather he associated himself with them so that he can impact them. Christians need to be careful about putting up so many barriers. If we have too many walls up, we will not be able to see the one's who need God the most. The lost.
