I remember hearing of a lady who went to a "crusade" of the
generic Christian type.  The preacher did not believe in the
Oneness of God, did not baptize in Jesus name, nor did they
believe in many of the things we Apostolics believe.......YET.....
this lady went for healing, and when she was prayed for by
the 'un-annointed' man, she was still healed.  WHY?  Because
it had nothing to do with the man who laid his hand on her,
it all had to do with her faith.  

I say all that to say this.....While you say these people get up
there and play the keyboard and un-invite the presence of the
Lord, in reality, they are not the one 'un-inviting' the presence.....

The following saying has stuck with me for many years
after a fellow saint quoted it to me after I complained about
certain things during a service....

"The service is only as good as YOU make it."

In other words, you can be standing at the very gates of
Hell and *still* worship God.  The Lord will go where
He is invited *no matter* how fast or professional the sound
of the music is.
