in less than three years. In June the police charged Englishwith 12 counts of fraudulently obtaining the drug.e False Christs and False Gods of CCMA pastor who wrote to criticize me for my warning aboutWest Coast Baptist College’s adaptation of contemporaryworship music said that if my position is right and that if weshould stop using CCM because of the heresies of the writers,we should also stop using the old Protestant hymns, such asthose by Martin Luther, Charles Wesley, and Fanny Crosby,and we should also stop using the King James Bible, becauseit was written by Anglicans.Whatever doctrinal differences a Baptist would have withMartin Luther or John Wesley or Fanny Crosby or KJVtranslator John Rainolds, we share the same Christ and thesame God, but that is oen not true for ContemporaryChristian Worship.Contemporary worship music has transformational powerthat no Protestant hymn has. We are comparing apples thathave some non-deadly skin disease to apples laced witharsenic. I’ve never heard of a fundamental Baptist church thatwas transformed into a Lutheran church through singingLuther’s hymns or a Methodist church by singing FannyCrosby’s songs, but I’ve personally witnessed manyfundamental Baptist churches transformed into NewEvangelical rock & roll emerging churches through the powerof contemporary worship. (See the free eVideo presentations“e Transformational Power of Contemporary PraiseMusic” and “e Foreign Spirit of Contemporary WorshipMusic,” available at www.wayoflife.org.)One reason for the transformational power is that theworld of contemporary worship is a terribly dangerous worldfilled with gross heresies and false christs, and those who playwith the music build bridges to this world.97
