***From what I read you think all "Christian Rock" bears no fruit?***

I didn't say that.


***Modern music (Pop, rock, Alternative) used as a unique and creative way to bring the Gospel to kids who have never heard the Gospel before.***

That is an oversimplification of the issue. Take a look at the industry as a whole. Project the trends out 10 or 15 years.

***...which happens by the hundreds at some shows.***

I know of people who've played and had hundreds come forward. A year later the guys checked with the local church - not one conversion stuck. In the emotionally charged atmosphere of a concert that kind of result is not suprising.

I hope and pray this isn't always the case, but fruit isn't true fruit unless it remains.

I think the analogy of the band checking back to church a year later is skewed. The point is that the kids made the decision to accept Christ. They may be at other churches, they may be backslidden they may still be struggling, But they took the first step to change their lives as a result of being drawn into it by the music.
