I wonder what the Snooty church folks had to say when David danced out of his clothes?

Apparently emails are being written to KH and other HQ officials over this and the alleged Dora endorsement . . .

Why?

What is the big deal anyway???

All of this is tragic.

It is funny how adamant OTP's are about this subject yet they have zero biblical basis for traditional Pentecostal "shouting" or "dancing in the spirit". It is totally a tradition within the movement with no New Testament premise or example.

It might be a sacred cow to some, but to limit it to OP is to forget the Awakenings of Early America (to cite one example). Some who disdain such extravagances of emotion should read Jonathan Edwards' brilliant defense of such goings on in early American revivals.

There is no more respected religious intellectual in all American history than Edwards...

Sadly, the "Old Lights" soon snuffed out all outward affections and emotions and the "New Lights" faded back into stuffy religiousity.

I hope that junk never enters the congregation I attend when I get your age.

As a conservative apostolic, (I think I am anyway), there should be no issue with this. Having spent some time in Tampa, working in this church, there is a different culture here then in most UPCI churches. If someone can show me scripture for this being wrong, then do so. Otherwise it becomes opinion.
