If you believe that the church is the bride of Christ, and if you believe that those who are filled w/the HG belong to the bride of Christ until his second coming, then why do you think that backsliders no longer have the HG? Are backsliders still considered part of the church until God's own judgement? I just know that God still works with those that are backslidden. (Of course, this is if you believe we as a church are married to Christ, if not, feel free to disreegard and I'm sorry if you don't agree) ;-)

That's a good question- Let me Brush up on that and find
out what our teaching is on this and get back to you
For the record, I believe "shouting" is fine as long as it is done decently and in order. I just don't think that a Christian's walk with God should be judged by whether they do or don't shout! Different folks have different personalities and express themselves to God differently!

I do not believe it is a litmus test as to ones spirituality either.
BTW - when I was growing up, my mom was all the music our church had, so if she was shouting, there was no music. But that did not stop the holy ghost from falling, and often it fell during the preaching, and there was never a chance for her to get to the organ.
Don't worry about whether or not I'm kidding until you can show conclusive biblical proof that we are not to shout. LOL! ;-)
Actually, I will let you go first and givie biblical proof.. or examples of any shouting in the scriptures... bearing in mind that the word shout in scripture has nothing to do with body movement.. but rather loud vocal expression
I would love to see your scriptural examples of one PENTECOSTAL JERK and SHOUT in the scriptures... and then I will be happy to give my proof why we should not JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHOUT
