So is the following safe to say?
1.) One might feel deep emotion or emotional response to music, prayer, or impressions from the Spirit. This is part of how God designed us.
2.) Receive and test impressions from the Holy Spirit that result from any state of worship or study of Scripture. Impressions and leadings do happen.
3.) One can freely contemplate Scriptural truths, the divine names, or specific words or concepts of Scripture. Contemplation (Christian meditation) can be deeply beneficial.
4.) During silent prayer time one is free to relax during prayer. Using breathing techniques to relax is an option.
5.) Music can be a valuable tool to bring the focus of one's mind and spirit into harmony. Music is a blessing when used to bring focus to Jesus.
6.) One should freely experience and enjoy the presence of God. Experiencing God is a part of having a personal relationship with Him.
7.) There is power to be received and utilized by faith through the Holy Spirit.
8.) Musical styles are theologically neutral.
9.) While doctrinal statements made in some songs may not reflect the fullness of Apostolic understanding, most Christian worship songs are generally acceptable.
10.) Worship can include being still or dancing. Sincere, emotional, and heartfelt worship offering praise to God is both biblical and desired by God.
