Can Justin Bieber's Holy be considered Christian music? Like gospel.

This might be a helpful addition to the debate...or not.

@Frank52 I think the issue isn't about Bieber's faith. The question is if this is a Gospel song or not. I can think of hundreds of songs that were written by Christians that are not in any way gospel songs. Some of the songs I like and some I don't but that is my taste. Was the song intended to be a gospel song? I don't think it was. It was a love song to his wife. Wonderful intent on its own merit but not a gospel song.

@hippyjoe1955 True. Many 'Christian' songs these days are theologically wide of the mark. Gospel in its traditional form tended to stick to the themes of freedom and redemption in the future. Musical taste is very personal, I agree.
