Is this Christian?

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: " 1 Peter 5:8

The "Satanic Salute"

The Horned Hand
"The 'Horned Hand' is the sign of recognition between those who are in the occult. . ."
(Satanism in America, p.42)

Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible
Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan and author of The Satanic Bible, displaying the "Horned Hand" (also called the "satanic salute" and Il Cornuto) with his left hand, on the back cover of The Satanic Bible.

A satanic ritual
Satanists making the "satanic salute" to an altar displaying the Goat of Mendes or Bahomet, to acknowledge their allegiance to Satan, during a satanic ritual.

Amy Grant
Believe it or not! Here's Amy Grant, on the Michael W. Smith, In Concert (Reunion Records, 1985) video tape flashing the "satanic salute"!

This is NOT the sign language for "I love you", where the thumb is openly extended.

Amy delibertely flashes the "satanic salute" at least two separate times on the video, displaying it for several seconds.

Is Amy Grant a satanist? Absolutely NOT!

But there is a definite spirit invoked in rock music, secular or Christian — and it's NOT the Holy Spirit! And many times, people involved in rock music get "caught up in this unholy spirit"!

During a 1993 Ophrah Winfrey interview, Michael Jackson, explained the reason for some of his fithly sexual gestures during his concerts:

"It happens subliminally. IT'S THE MUSIC THAT COMPELS ME TO DO IT. You don't think about it, it just happens. I'M SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM."
(The Evening Star, Feb. 11, 1993, p. A10)
Nothing about the lyrics! It's the MUSIC!

How can the Holy Spirit of the Bible use such wicked, fleshly music!

Regardless of the lyrics!
