Thousand Foot Crutch.....

There are multiple definitions of what qualifies as a "Christian rock" band. Christian rock bands that explicitly state their beliefs and use religious imagery in their lyrics, like Servant, Third Day, SONICFLOOd and Petra, tend to be considered a part of the contemporary Christian music (CCM) industry and play for a predominantly Christian market. These bands are often classified as praise music. Although these are considered rock bands, often the musical style is smooth and closer to easy listening.

Other bands perform music influenced by their faith or containing Christian imagery, but see their audience as the general public. They may avoid specific mention of God or Jesus, or they may write more personal, cryptic, or humorous lyrics concerning their faith rather than direct praise songs. Such bands are sometimes rejected by the CCM rock scene and may specifically reject the CCM label, however many have been accepted as a part of the industry, such as Relient K and Newsboys. Other bands may experiment with more abrasive musical styles, which until recently met with resistance from the CCM scene. However, beginning in the 1990s and 2000s there was much wider acceptance even by religious purists of Christian metal, Christian industrial and Christian punk.

Many rock artists including U2, Lifehouse, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Creed, Sufjan Stevens, The White Stripes, King's X, Thrice, Evanescence, Coldplay and Blessid Union of Souls do not claim to be "Christian bands", but include members who openly profess to be Christians and at times may feature Christian thought, imagery, scripture or other influences in their music. Some of these bands, such as Creed, played up the spiritual content of their music and were widely considered a "Christian band" by the popular media, despite their later disavowals of the label. Some bands reject the label because they do not wish to exclusively attract Christian fans, or because they been identified with another particular music genre, such as heavy metal or indie rock, and feel more creative kinship with members of that scene. Many bands have also ceased to be considered Christian rock upon achieving mainstream pop success.

There is a tendency among some Christian rock music fans to label other rock bands as Christian if their lyrics are seen as consistent with the fans' understanding of Christian belief, regardless of whether the members have "come out" as Christians. This may be seen as a way of justifying the music to those intolerant of secular popular music, but it is generally not accepted by the contemporary Christian music industry, which tends to characterize bands outside the CCM industry as "mainstream" or "secular".
