Well guys...
I think to say that this group of kids worshipping in this way is pagan, evil, and non-Christian is a rush to judgement without all of the facts.
What we saw was a quick clip of a part of one song. Who knows what the entire worship consisted of? Maybe there was some meaningful worship songs sung there - how do we know there wasn't? Maybe at some point the gospel was presented - how do we know there wasn't?
I'm not buying that all they did was the silly stuff portrayed in the video. It was just a part of a youth worship service where they were having a little fun - with a popular song that gets a lot of radio play that every kid in there had probably heard before.
Show me the full two hour clip of the entire service - then I'll determine if they are in trouble or not. Until then Romans 14 applies...

I have to disagree, at least as far as this video is concerned. Yes, they may have had a meaningful, gospel-filled messaged preached earlier. But the fact that they possibly mixed this in with that caused concern. It show lack of discernment. It is completely man-centered.
Other that that, Go Lakers!!!!

I might not call it pagan, but I would call it inappropriate.
When I think of God in heaven - in whose presence the angels cover their faces and feet and cry out "holy, holy, holy" day and night - then try to imagine how something like what is in this video honors God, I can't comprehend how any Christian justifies the behavior. It might be any number of things, but it isn't God honoring and it isn't worship.

I don't think you need to follow the regulative principle to think this is... a little inappropriate.
