Even you non believer can be saved, no matter how horrible your sin or how far away you are from God, You are welcome into his kingdom. Just accept his gift of forgiveness through Christ and you will be saved.
This would make a really great Christian Universalist creed for any of the GENUINELY CHRISTIAN Universalist ministries out there. Just like the Apostle's Creed, where a modern reader would expect eternal duality, it's CONSPICUOUSLY MISSING AND EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL on the dispensation of the fullness of times!
I am thankful for such a telling of the Apostles' Creed. It was by this telling, brother to brother, sister to sister, that we were able to hold fast to faith in shaking times.
Love and respect to Petra, and to all those who Rock for the Rock!!! We are a new Christian Hard rock band, following in the footsteps of Such great Bands as Petra and Stryper, and we'd be honored if you brothers and sisters in Christ reading this will click here, open your heart and give our videos a listen....We are original, these are our songs, and our videos,...and not the usual youtube dribble! Quite the opposite actually! I promise!!! Please Click here...
Father God i pray to strengthen Petra and ask in Jesus name for the Holy Spirit to FLOW through them and their music that the lost may be found and the broken may BE HEALED, thank you Jesus i LOVE you..Amen
@loopsearplugs The band Petra is basically defunct. Someone will have to carry on. As their songs are copyright material it would be difficult(legally) to play their songs without the members permission. I'd give it a good try with the right musicians and the legal powers ... and God's too!
@camlpg Petra is still together preforming as Classic Petra with the bands original members. I believe that except for John being absent and Greg as lead I think that the members they have now were the best they ever had at anytime. Although I also loved Ronnie Cates and Kevin Brando is by far the greatest new member to join them in later years and I loved Peter Fuller on drums but feel he stole it from Weaver though Schlitt was fully responsible for Weavers demise.
@GULLYGUS15 OK, evangelicals have one really good rock band compared to the several thousand of the secular rock music industry. Can't say monopoly can we? LMBO.
@camlpg There is more then one there is SKILLET and KUTLESS and STRYPER RICH MULLINS (who died btw but is still an awesome musican) SWITCHFOOT RELENT K THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH NEWS BOYS DC TALK the list is endless. but it's all relative because what is good to me may suck to you and vice versa.
@farkas419: You're right! That's terrible. It is as if you're saying: "Father, please, bless me today" is wrong because those words are not together in the Bible. These ministers are sort of ridiculous because the sermons they preach is not also verbatim in the Bible.
Now, there is little wonder why the member of their congregations cannot give a concise and thorough answer to the question: What do you believe!
Many preachers condemn this kind of music in church. They don't even realize that for many young people and new Christians they were first exposed to the Apostle's Creed, our main Christian confession, for the first time with PETRA in this song! As a minister I owe a debt of gratitude for this group, that, with this song a few others, made my work so much easier among many who otherwise rejected any notion of Church.
@mrmiltonalmeida Some preachers not only condemn this song, they condemn the Apostle's Creed because it's "not in the Bible." I'm not kidding, I've seen it. Repeatedly.
@TheErnestotorres1977 seems to be your comments about 'middle school days remembered' are what sucks, and your only attaching them to the song....I too remember this band from High School, (which wasn't everything I wanted it to be) but, this band brought me to the lord because when things were coming at me from all directions as a young man (of the world) these guys played rock music that planted the seed of Jesus Christ in my soul..
@kenaniah7 Christs death wasnt about survival of faith..it was about paying the price for our sins and providing a bridge to God the father that was broken because of our sins....you are preaching all paths lead to the same destination and that is ANTI CHRIST....Jesus said "i am THE way THE truth and THE way" not a way a truth and a life....
My favorite Christian band of all time.....by a mile ! What a legacy of commitment to the cause which is only possible because God was central in all they did.
I have been a fan from the nineties from back in India. Thought it would be nice to see them perform live and finally did see and meet them in Texas when they were on their farewell tour.
This music was deeply felt in my life. My creed of today, has been fortifying itself with time, as he heard this song. Thank you Lord for allowing me to meet Petra.
Amen. All Christians should know our creeds. This type of Christian music rocks and is better theology than alot of our modern feel good repetitive christian music today.
I so agree with you. Where are bands like Petra that actually made sense instead of mindlessly repeating lines from Scripture and some even made up lines that are only Scripture-like.
@mikosoft their everywhere lol theirs Toby Mac, KJ-52, Newsboys, Manafest, the list could go on just look up comtemporary christian music bands or something like that..
Petra has proven to be one of the few bands that I'll listen to an album of theirs and think there's no way the next one I listen to can measure up to it. Then I pop in the next and think to myself, "Holy crap, this is as good as the last album I listened to!" Outside maybe their first album, which isn't like this song at all, they've made virtually no songs that I've gotten bored with quickly.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of GOD so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
After reading Mere Christianity and becoming a Christian (I called myself that for a long time but in my heart was only a Deist), it's stuff like this that gets me really excited about the after life and what's in store for me until then.
We typically use the Nicene Creed in the church I attend (Episcopal), which is the same creed as the Apostle's Creed (another creed we use occasionally) on Sundays. The Nicene Creed is a little longer than the Apostle's Creed in that it is a little more detailed, but it covers the belief in the Trinity.
This must be the best version of apostle's creed ever. First time I heard it in a Christian rock radio it immediately caught my attention and it was also my beginning of becoming a fan of Petra.
@ThePrayerwarrior777 The first copy I got back in the 90s at a Christian book store. The second I believe I purchased at a Christian music festival ~2004. You can probably get a copy off amazon or ebay if not at a Christian book store.
Even you non believer can be saved, no matter how horrible your sin or how far away you are from God, You are welcome into his kingdom. Just accept his gift of forgiveness through Christ and you will be saved.
