Petra stole riffs from Kiss’ “Heaven’s on Fire” song, in their “Seen and Not Heard” song. Many so-called christian rockers admit in interviews they were inspired to be rockers by secular bands that sing very clearly anti-christian songs.
I didn’t say Petra was thrash or punk. I am simply stating there are thrash and punk bands that also claim to be ‘christian’ but they clearly are not. Petra is a rock band that claims to be christian, but isn’t. They are just a rock band trying to convince people that you can play secular music but put some references to God in it and somehow that makes their music god-pleasing.
Petra predates Kiss. I've never listened to Kiss but obviously you have. Very telling.

What makes music secular?
Again, God created all music. Your band Kiss distorted God's creation.
