Nowhere have I seen or heard of someone actually swinging from a ceiling fan as you mentioned. You mentioned three things in the OP: run, dance and swing from the ceiling fan. Only two of those actually happen in churches - running and dancing. Both are scriptural from both Old and New Testament.

So then, according to your criteria you don't worship God? Or don't encounter God at church? Are you even trying? You know, on one knee, see how it goes? Then work to eventually get fully prone?

Hey, those jumpers and runners, at least they're trying.
Yea I worship! Worship is a lifestyle, not a dance you do on Sunday night because you feel good or the music is right.

Someone needs to tell these old folk they're doing it wrong! Face down and prone, people!

God bless this couple! I love this! I believe God does as well.

You are taking the face down comment way out of context. Or, I did not explain myself very good.

Dude do an average of 3 a week for 47 years and see what you get.

Brother,
I have seen this in church services and sometimes it does seem contrived.

However, consider God's instructions to the Israelites as they marched around the Walls of Jericho.

Or the instructions after Jesus healed the ruler-- go dip in the dirty river 6 times.

My point is that your praise and worship can serve as a focal point of faith by action.


I am still suspect of the whole, "slain in the Spirit" phenomenon. I cannot think of any scriptural basis for this supposed Work of the Holy Spirit. I assure you I am not intending to be blasphemous-- I just am not sure if this is a real phenomenon or if it is real, is it one that Christians should be doing.

In Exodus 34 we see The Lord coming as close to Moses as any person in history. What does he do in verse 8? No running , no dancing, no out of control spinning , no jumpig etc etc.

You are right, worship is a lifestyle, and it's not about if you feel good or the music is right, it's about expressing love, thanksgiving, and praise to our redeemer, whether the praise team is singing *I'll fly away* or *there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain*

God loves our praise and worship, when we enter into his courts with thanksgiving and praise, and His Spirit comes down and consumes the sacrifice, there is an atmosphere of His presence in which anything is possible.

This is where I disagree with you. The only criteria I find is where any two.....
