#1 Do you think it is ok to listen to non Christian music in Church?

I would say it all depends upon your purpose. If I have to play a non-Christian song to make a point in a message or to explain what is going on in our culture, I would do it if the Holy Spirit allows. God doesn't say, "Thou shalt not play non-Christian music in church."

#2 Do you think it is a sin to listen to non Christain music and does it really affect you as a person?

I do not think it is necessarily a sin to listen to non-Christian music. As in most things, I listen to music critically. I listen for the worldview being presented and compare it to Scripture. There are Biblical truths in non-Christian music just as there are Biblical truths in almost all worldviews today. I believe it only affects me to the extent that I allow it. I'm sure there are Christians who do not listen critically and allow the ideas in non-Christian music to affect them negatively. For them it would be sin. God never says, "Thou shalt not listen to non-Christian music."
