@xnothingnessx Really?! why would you post hateful comments on this video? satan is telling you false views about Christianity. How can you think that it is fake? One day, you will see your stupidity and realize Jesus is the Lord and Savior, and you will regret every lie you've told about Christianity.
@xnothingnessx dude your an idiot hes not forcing them to become christians, this was a set up speaking, these kids went volentarily. and how is he a hypocrite? by teaching to word of God, and using every aspect in His life to spread the word of God? yeah i see a whole lot of hypocracy there
@xnothingnessx How can you force something on people who buy a ticket to see you. By your definition every band who ever played forced their views on their audience. Or are you afraid Christians are right?
@arynivie22 and @theRorasaur Maybe if you two listened to what he was saying you would realize that the only reason they are a band is because of God. And you get mad because he is talking about the reason the band is where they are.
@howIronicle you just made no sense. At all haha. And its not a "christian" concert. Im sure @theRorasaur didnt catch them at jesusstock 2011. You my friend @howIronicle are speaking out of your ass. Preaching is preaching. Its annoying. They need to stop trying to push their beliefs on others and just play some fuckin music. Ive seen them 8 times live and they are a great band. Just need to stop the jesus pushing.
@arynivie22 they are not "jesus pushing" any1 the thing is god didnt send me to just believe in him that useless he sent me to go out and spread the good news about the gospel so GOMD and quit trolling man and i think your listening to the preachers with your ass bro preaching isnt annoying you just havnt opened your ears and herd any of it so. you cant see the things i have seen or do the things done if your not looking
sorry to spam the comments box but I intern at a christian multimedia channel called mmlrock.com(we stream christian rock/rap/folk/metal through the internet) I wanted to ask if you guys could help me out by liking the facebook page and checking out the site!! It is currently being redesigned!!! If you like christian music and like the way old MTV was set up please check us out!
I don't care if you're Christian or any other religion, but when I go to a fucking concert and hear this asshole preach on the middle of the song about how I need to find jesus, it really pisses me off. That's cool you're religious. I'm not and I don't even believe in the better part of any of it. I find faith in myself and when one of my favorite bands tell me my decisions I make are wrong, well they can fuck themselves.
@theRorasaur dude plz dont comment on a christain video about you gettin mad because you went to a christain concert and was preached to i mean do you know how stupid that is etheir get saved or dont go to concerts and quit listening to this. jesus loves you and you should realy listen to what thees ppl have to say
@howIronicle K, u spell gud? And no, it wasn't a christian concert, idiot. For Today were playing at a normal concert. And I don't believe my choice is "get saved or don't go to concerts and quit listening to this". But needless to say, I stopped listening to them because of that. Also, you make no sense and you're a fucking idiot.
@theRorasaur ok cool it wasnt a christian concert but dont be a dick and go trolling on the video and i said get saved or dont go to for today ( not my exact words but you get the point ) and they are not pushing you at all to believe it but us as christians have to spred the good news about the gospel
@Rowanloveschicken i walked in half way through it playing and ive seen them numerous times live so i thought id give his words a chance... thats why i watched and commented
@arynivie22 i don't recall him forcing any beliefs on anybody. he's telling them what he believes. if that means he is forcing his beliefs on them, well you have done the same thing. you basically stated how you don't believe in God. oh. so you need to stop forcing your beliefs on us.
how does this show bravery at all?? Your beliefs do not make you who you are. Your actions do. Tired of junkies trading one addiction for another. Your god is a joke. All loving all Knowing my ass. Is this why thousands of children die everyday from hungry and abuse? Religion is for the weak. Neither God or Jesus have ever come down and worked to help feed my family. You know what faith is? Its believing in something with out proof. Maybe its just me but I dont do that. i live in the real world
@arynivie22 Well, maybe if you gave God a chance and showed him you cared you would see the little mircles he does you everyday. You're just being ungrateful. Just because God is perfect doesn't make us perfect because there is Satan who makes things horrible. Don't believe that is fine, live your life the way you want. I'm just telling you what I believe.
Also, if you don't in God why are you watching this? Wouldn't it be pointless to you?
@Rowanloveschicken The christian right in the states is one of the most dangerous, stupid and selfish group of people i know. They are mostly greedy hypocrites and these band is supporting that bullshit. Believe it or not...
@xnothingnessx If you so strongly disagree with what he is saying then don't watch, don't comment, and don't have anything to do with this video. This is someone else's belief and life style. Have some respect and respect others so they can respect you. There is nothing wrong with ones religion.
@arynivie22 dude if your complaining about god not doing anything then you have bad lack of faith and i have been from addiction to allot of things to addiction to god and god hates religion its based an repetitive actions and richuals so its not about religion its about having a relationship with god and untill you have that you will get no where in your walk with god and im not just speaking this to you im speaking this to all and last but not least jesus loves you <3
To all those here who keep saying that we are blind for believing in or holy lord and savior. Just quite your not going to change anyone's mind because our love for God and Jesus Christ is to strong for some keyboard worrier to come and tell use other wise.
and for the Christians who do try to force our beliefs on others, it's wrong. that's the reason why so many atheists hate all Christians.. our job is to spread the gospel and tell people about God. but if they don't want to believe, leave them be. and respect them for who they are. if they don't want to believe, all we can do is pray for them. how would you feel if an athiest tried to force you to not believe in God? i've had that happen. and it pissed me off. i imagine they feel the same way.
@dumbasswhitekid very true. i was raised an episcopal and still follow the general belief, although my church attendance is nearly non-existant, but anyhow, i can't stand it when somebody tries to force their beliefs on another, whether they be christian, atheist, jewish, muslim, etc, because there is no way of being proving any of those to be true or untrue. debating over the legitimacy of religion is one of the most ignorant and simple minded debates humans are capable of.
@toasttoasttoast12 na. nothing wrong with debating. debates are very interesting and can open your mind. as long as you do it respectfully. and dont disrespect other beliefs while doing it. i have atheist friends. and we'll talk about it sometimes. and ill talk about why i believe in God. and they'll talk about why they dont. and neither of us get mad at each other. debating can be good as long as you're not trying to force beliefs while doing it.
@dumbasswhitekid well that's what i meant, if people want to have a respectful discussion about their views then by all means, but when a person start thinking that their views are superior and tries to dismantle the other's views based on so-called evidence (something that cannot be done when it comes to faith or lack thereof), it just shows idiocy and arrogance. watch the video(s) of kirk cameron and his friend debating with the "rational response squad" and you'll see what i mean.
@toasttoasttoast12 yup. i can't stand closed-minded or disrespectful people. i just wish everybody would be more open-minded and respectful the world would be a better place.
and for those of you dissing on us Christians and calling us idiots, you're not making us any weaker in our faith. or even affecting us in the smallest way. im sorry that you don't like us. but that's your problem. you should at least have some respect. im a Christian and i have atheist friends. i respect them for what they believe and they respect me for what i believe. we don't try to force our beliefs on each other cuz it's disrespectful. although we do share our ideas respectully.
really inspiring speech for me. for those of you saying to keep this in church, us Christians believe we are supposed to spread the gospel. there's no point if you're only telling ppl that are already Christians. and we're not forcing religion on anybody. we're just telling them about what a great god we have. the choice to believe it or not is yours. we're not saying you have to believe. we're just giving you a chance. if you don't like what we're doing, then just ignore it or go away. :)
seiriously wats wrong with guys writing bad comments u really dont know about wat ur talking about. He is sharing the word of Jesus Christ who died for ur sins and if you want to neglect that go ahead its ur choice but know even though u dont know or believe in him he believes in u. Nice video guys keep it up
@BowelsofSTFUANDDIE if you would have read the Bible you would have realized that good people don't go to heaven. It's the ones who believe and are forgiven.
'reading some of the comments, it made me think, "Don't prove to them that God is about relationships or God is real, let God prove himself." Respect. :) Mattie is one of my favorite vocalist! YEAHH!!
Wow, this dude is fucking delirious. Reading all of these comments, so are all of you. Everyone hits their low points in life and its the weak minded in our society that believe "god" had something to do with them turning it around when really the power came from the individual. Anyone who believes a benevolent zombie has something to do with everyday life need to wake the fuck up. Ive traveled the world, ive seen the harshest parts and guess what? God isnt here. Pawns... all of you.
Respond to this video... Yeah anyone who tells it like it is obviously works for the devil. Dont pray for me and dont fear for me cause "god" is all forgiving and i dont need to worry about hell... or am i wrong about that? Isnt it weird how someone becomes a devout christian AFTER something horrible happens or their life isnt going right? Keep living in fear people, you do a good job at that.
@BowelofSTFUANDDIE I refuse to argue with a closed minded ignorant atheist because it will get you nowhere. I would just like to know why you would bother writing a disrespectful comment on this video about some one who has faith AND IS NOT living in fear, people like you disgust me, thanks for wasting my time.
@bkSHARK100 im far from ignorant. Unlike many "christians" ive actually read the bible and scoffed the crap it spews. I dont consider it disrespectful when i believe no respect is to be given in the first place. Religion has people like you believing that paradise awaits after you die. Notice, its not when you live and of course theres hell if youre not a good little sucker. Sounds like fear to me. I like ripping on you people because of how blind you are.
I think it is just ignorant if someone goes to this video just slander the fact that Mattie goes up and delivers his message about God, get over yourself, he is in a great band and he is a youth pastor, Jesus gave his life for you, respect what this man has to say.
i'm not paying to go to a show if there is a guy on stage trying to convert everyone in the crowd. play your fucking music and shut the fuck up about religion. you have churches for that shit.
@CoolStoryBrah26 chances are if youre at a show that For Today is playing, you already know Mattie is going to preach it's what he does, he's a youth Pastor in Souix City, Iowa, their hometown. May god forgive you dudefor your ignorance.
@YZFMX256 wow dude thats great for mattie! he really is an inspiration and an example of not to judge a book by its cover, as a pastor with tatoos and gauges, he can prove that jesus changes people(:
@skilcapezdud exactly, I have gauges, tatts, have the 'REPENT OR PERISH' chest piece, and I still attend church. I get gestures from the elderly people everytime i walk in and they always say, may god forgive for destroying your body. lol silly old people :)
@charliepeters586 Um the people that are here already believe or they know what this guy talks about and are willing to listen because they atleast respect people enough about what there beliefs are and what they have to say about it.. Hes does take time out in a show and took like a minute or two in the middle of the show to talk about god so you if dont like it or the band then dont go and dont view the videos... simple as that man.. hes not pushing religion on people
Honestly those of you who took the time to watch this and comment rude things are just wasting your own time nobody cares what y'all think, this testimony shows bravery which is something that those of you with bad things to say clearly don't have, but I won't force my beliefs on anyone cause everyone should make there own decisions
@cypher858 if u were truly a Christian then you would know that its not a religion but a relationship. its a relationship between you and Jesus Christ. not a group outing, vacation, or brunch, its between YOU AND JESUS CHRIST. About how he can work in your life so that you might be able to work in others.
Man, I get so sick of seeing people whine about him preaching during shows, you don't like it, fine don't. But stop whining about it, it's not like he's pushing his religion onto anyone, he's speaking from his heart, he's giving people an opportunity to see Gods great power. Stop crying.
it seems like youre just on here to troll so go away. did you expect something else from the frontman of For Today? He is sharing the gospel. And unlike most christian hardcore bands. hes not afraid to share it everywhere he goes.
It's been forever since I've been to church, but I have to say my walk with Christ is improving everyday. The churches message is so far off from What Jesus Christ wants for our lives.
More evangelizing from a shit band, maybe you all should pray that "God" gives you more talent as opposed to writing constant breakdowns and raping the antireligious nature of hardcore. You christfags are like a contagion in any music scene, why don't you all kill yourselves and wait for his second coming?
@viletree I used to think the same way until Chirst called me out. I will be praying for you. I know I know, you don't my prayer, but you're still gonna get it. If you want to chat about my faith email me. theforerunnerband@gmail.com God Bless
@viletree Well, you're not doing anyone any favors being mean. Besides, people should be able to listen to what they like. I would've expected that you being a metal-head would have more tolerance for things because we're all usually targets of prejudice by people who don't listen to metal. Instead, you choose to become that same prejudice. Yes, I'm Christian. Yes, I listen to For Today. However, I don't listen to For Today because I'm Christian. You don't believe in God, I'm okay with that.
Some of you people who seem to be siding with God, certainly aren't showing the love of Christ by yelling at these people and telling them to go to hell. Yeah they're being rude, but the Bible says to turn the other cheek and to treat people how we want to be treated. Just sayin...
jokes aside... this is an awesome testimony and i hope that i one day can stand in front of people and preach like this. speak the Gospel of the Holy Lord and save people. God bless him and his work
Beat Him and spit in His face. He did it knowing you would turn on Him like Judas and deny Him like Peter. But He still loves you. He GAVE His life for YOU! It wasn't taken from Him... He gave it.
Ahh Mattie's sooo amazing!!-3 I don't get you people... How can you like For Today and NOT live God?? They scream/sing about His love and His mercy! While you sit here and dis God online think about how He was reduced to human hamburger and taken to the point of death where he would reach out for it and crave death and to die just to have it ripped out of His reach. He should have died long before He reached Calvary. And He did it with all of you in mind knowing you are just as bad as those who
That's is completely wrong, the kid below me. The bible says Gods love is eternal and non wavering, God can't "snap". He is PERFECT, no flaws. The bible reads that God does not wish that any would perish but that all would have eternal life. His love can't just end, it won't.
@mylifeismatty man it's not a religion. There are no standards, we don't have to be perfect. Jesus already did that for us. He dies for us. All we have to do is believe. Have a relationship with Him, not follow rules and guidelines. We get to heaven through faith in Jesus, not by stoping doing bad things. We do that cause we wanna be more like the person who died for us. We all sin, every one of us, but through Jesus we can be saved. He'll is very very very real. Its an eternal flame. You think
But matties a badass screamer he's inspired many people even me and if cries let him be he's crying for something he enjoys something he loves and no one is going to stop him for what he loves to do. Remember god loves you and god bless
First of all no one deserves to go to hell because that place is evil and athiest say the world was made of a explosion we all know that's bs because someone had to make explosion happen it's not a coinsidence plus if mylifeismatty belives in what HD belive let him be only when the end come and the last judgement come will he finally belive and when he wants to redeem himself from his sins it will be to late while we are in paradice he will burn.
@mylifeismaddy dude satan is some superhero. he's hell's main convict. he's why it was created and i'm so sorry you want to be a part of that. we want the best for you. love you. be good to yourself
@BecauseImAwsome how about i cry on your tits with my dick. cry baby with cry baby mattie and cry baby for togay and crybaby jesus christ and god. so sad.
@22mpb go burn in what? that nonexistent plane they say exists to scare you into being a better person? even if the place does exist i'd gladly burn there with fucking badass satan than live up in heaven with a "God" that turns his back on "his children"... srsly... i'd rather die than go to heaven. and mattie is a crying pussy that used to be a total manwhore and druggie. but then because he "found God" everyone forgives him. God doesn't change anyone, religion is a scapegoat for fuck ups.
@mylifeismatty Some day you're going to tell someone about something that means alot to you, and you will break down. and you wont look like a pussy, people will understand because its from your heart, you need to shine some of that same respect on Mattie.
@HaoleJames considering the guy was a raging whore and druggie that uses god and religion as a scapegoat to achieve "forgiveness" he is hardly worth any ounce of respect within my body.
@mylifeismatty He changed his ways and is a different person, anybody can say that they found the light of christ and it turned their life around but not everyone makes it their lifes work to go from city to city to spread to gospel, what do you think your respect is worth anyways? are you THAT perfect?
@mylifeismatty yea, he´s crying. so? whats wrong with crying? is wrong to cry when you have a relationship with Jesus Christ forever? is it wrong to cry when you could be sent to hell for eternity and be separated from the love of God for ever and all of eternity? is it wrong to cry when one man named Jesus Christ was sent here from heaven to die on a cross for you? i think not.
@mylifeismatty To be honest, you should be completely jealous of him crying. He has the courage, and the amazing amount of God in his heart, that when he speaks of God, he can't help but feel so happy. I hope that one day, God comes into your heart. God bless you.
Everyone has a religion. Money, work, sports. look up the definition of religion then look up atheists.org if ur unconvinced. Prayer is incredibly powerful & the name of Jesus Christ gives us power over all evil. That's why people "don't seem to grow out of it." The countless healed of cancer, MS, the flu and allergies; the blind, deaf, paralyzed who now see hear and walk. The people who realize God is love and love is real. Ask them why they haven't grown out of it.
@Cypher858 I'm sorry that that the other so called "Christians" have said some of the stuff they said, if they were true Christians they wouldn't have said what they said, and I'm not going to try to persuade you to believe in God or any thing like that, I just wanted to apologize to you for what the other people said... I would like to say one thing though, sometime when you get a chance just look up at the sky and look at the stars and just look at how many there are and think about how many
@FuneraIs Haha god created lucifer who then became Baphomet. So god is the creater of your god himself. Just shut the hell up man. Oh wait you would like that im sorry shut the heaven up!!!!!!!!!!! lol just skrew it man haha let people believe what they want to and keep your mouth shut.
@FuneraIs well why do you say that? bad childhood? bad life experience? or are you afraid God won't except you because of things you've done in your life?
@FuneraIs 1) well what was the purpose of typing 666 that's satanic which in itself is a religion. 2) Crutches are supposed to help you when you can't walk so you don't fall 3) God is not a crutch he is a healer I hope you find him someday for your sake :(
Mattie is a great christian and faithful man, but when he talked about church being boring or not waking up for sunday church, lets remember that God himself said to keep his commandments, he knows we arent perfect, and he knows we fall at times, but he did say KEEP them. but other than that, hes a beast and hes a great example of christs love :DD God bless yall!
Mattie is awesome! He preaches with strength and courage! That is such a hard thing to do, preach to kids that have no idea who God is or to kids who don't even care! I love this! And all you guys denying God, you have No idea what you are talking about, go ahead and mock, but I've felt his presence, I've heard his voice, and you would never know him until you gave him a chance, I know God is real! but yet all us followers are mocked by people who hate the God they Never met! It's ok though, yo
"I'll never know the answers and I'll always wonder why. Why we are given grace we will never deserve, a second chance that we will never earn. For there is nothing I can do to save myself. But i would rather be called weak than die thinking I was strong." I didn't earn my salvation, I was given grace by Jesus dying for my sins and the sins of all man. No man is perfect, not even one, therefore Eternity cannot be earned, Jesus is the bridge that allows passage to Heaven.
@xnothingnessx Really?! why would you post hateful comments on this video? satan is telling you false views about Christianity. How can you think that it is fake?

@dumbasswhitekid very true. i was raised an episcopal and still follow the general belief, although my church attendance is nearly non-existant, but anyhow, i can't stand it when somebody tries to force their beliefs on another, whether they be christian, atheist, jewish, muslim, etc, because there is no way of being proving any of those to be true or untrue. debating over the legitimacy of religion is one of the most ignorant and simple minded debates humans are capable of.
toasttoasttoast12 2 months ago
@toasttoasttoast12 na. nothing wrong with debating. debates are very interesting and can open your mind. as long as you do it respectfully. and dont disrespect other beliefs while doing it. i have atheist friends. and we'll talk about it sometimes. and ill talk about why i believe in God. and they'll talk about why they dont. and neither of us get mad at each other. debating can be good as long as you're not trying to force beliefs while doing it.
dumbasswhitekid 2 months ago
@dumbasswhitekid well that's what i meant, if people want to have a respectful discussion about their views then by all means, but when a person start thinking that their views are superior and tries to dismantle the other's views based on so-called evidence (something that cannot be done when it comes to faith or lack thereof), it just shows idiocy and arrogance. watch the video(s) of kirk cameron and his friend debating with the "rational response squad" and you'll see what i mean.

and for those of you dissing on us Christians and calling us idiots, you're not making us any weaker in our faith. or even affecting us in the smallest way. im sorry that you don't like us. but that's your problem. you should at least have some respect. im a Christian and i have atheist friends. i respect them for what they believe and they respect me for what i believe. we don't try to force our beliefs on each other cuz it's disrespectful. although we do share our ideas respectully.
dumbasswhitekid 3 months ago
really inspiring speech for me. for those of you saying to keep this in church, us Christians believe we are supposed to spread the gospel. there's no point if you're only telling ppl that are already Christians. and we're not forcing religion on anybody. we're just telling them about what a great god we have. the choice to believe it or not is yours. we're not saying you have to believe. we're just giving you a chance. if you don't like what we're doing, then just ignore it or go away. :)

Everyone has a religion. Money, work, sports. look up the definition of religion then look up atheists.org if ur unconvinced. Prayer is incredibly powerful & the name of Jesus Christ gives us power over all evil. That's why people "don't seem to grow out of it." The countless healed of cancer, MS, the flu and allergies; the blind, deaf, paralyzed who now see hear and walk. The people who realize God is love and love is real. Ask them why they haven't grown out of it.

But i would rather be called weak than die thinking I was strong." I didn't earn my salvation, I was given grace by Jesus dying for my sins and the sins of all man. No man is perfect, not even one, therefore Eternity cannot be earned, Jesus is the bridge that allows passage to Heaven.
