I was actually planning on starting a thread on that exact topic.

interesting.

I'd say that he is in New Orleans based on the fact that his site DID say he'd be secretly traveling the US, playing at private events. There's a major possibility that it IS tiesto.

Now as far as the fiancee thing, that sounds like an urban legend. His fiancee was here in Miami a few years ago and was generally being a pain at one of his gigs, so I've heard. There was some tension between them causing Tiesto's set not to go so smoothly.

If she did die, may she rest in peace, but Tiesto would have most likely publicized it (like PvD and his grandfather).

The worship leading sounds like another urban myth, but he might be a Christian. (Avalon remix is a clue). Most likely he was spinning a private party a lot of church members had attended.

btw, I really like this forum title... sounds like something out of a tabloid.

Tiesto CAUGHT red-handed.... helping in New Orleans... Is he a believer? or is this a publicity stunt to pull him back to number 1 DJ? (page 5)

Bush Doesn't Care About Black People.... but Tiesto Does (page 26)

Gerry, you made me wet myself.

eh... just look at all the rap cds out there where they do just that and then since about how it's all about getting the girl in bed, drinking and getting money. They may thank God, but does that thank really mean anything? I dunno. If the fruit isn't there...

If there is one thing Clover Fest is teaching me, it's that we have been living in a very VERY small world and have no idea about the number of Xians out there. Beyond that... "ultimate glory for all of us"? I hope that's just poorly typed

It would be a great thing if Tiesto is a Christian, but I don't think it would change a thing other than our perspective given how may Christians are already working hard in the secular scene and how many currently bridging that gap. I'm seriously starting to think that we have simply been holding ourselves back in some cases (not all).

OH... BTW, Tiesto is #2 now. PvD is #1

What did you mean by this comment, not understanding it.

He means that we are not to get any ultimate glory, or any glory for that matter. Christ is to recieve the glory. All honor, all glory, all praise to Him.

I understand the sentiment behind what you said, however the semantics were off.

I will say this, if Tiesto is a Christian, that's awesome. But it will not be a victory for us. Getting people saved should never be considered a victory for us. They are not trophies for us to display. They are precious souls that God longs to commune with. The victory is for the person who gave thier heart to Christ and for Christ who won another for His Kingdom.

For us to want them to be a Christian because of thier status (any celebrity) is almost selfish on our part. It's an ulterior motive. We want them to be a Christian so we can show the world who we have "on our side". When we realize what celebrity is a Christian, it's almost as if we put an extra layer of pressure on them to be the Christian Posterchild and win the world for Christ when we in our small towns do nothing to reach our own communities.

I'm not saying you are wrong in your zeal. I am right there with you. I am just saying, let's just keep things simple and in perspective. Let's continue to hope and pray for Tiesto, BT, PVD, Oakenfold, etc...our "heroes" in this dance thing...and let's reach out to them via thier message boards and email. Our motive? That they will not be found in the firey pit, lost without hope in the end. That one day, they will hear the words from Jehovah's mouth, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into the Kingdom". And, if by some chance that God puts the calling on them to use thier gifts as a ministry (as does Andy Hunter), then all praise goes to God. It will then be our job to pray for thier safety and ministry success.
