Re: Acts 2: Then and Now
Yep! It seems like our learning is left up to us individually. Cuz I wasn't taught this stuff at an early age. I was just taught to be a good kid and "yeild to the Spirit" duing church services...and when I hadn't had an emotional moment in a while, publicly that is, it was time for a visit to a good ol' fashioned alter.
I don't mean to downplay emotions in church, but it seems like everyone nowadays comes FOR the emotional times. One lady jirates, screams, and stomps at least once in every service...I'm not kidding! Every service!
See, that may be of God, but I found no record of someone jirating and screaming when the presence of God came over them in Acts. Yeah, David danced, but he's the only one anyone ever refers back too. None of that took place in Acts...at least it's not recorded.
I'm not against dancing...not at all...its an expression of joy...but dont call it "dancing in the Spirit"...or make people believe that this is what happens when the Holy Ghost falls...because it's not recorded as happening even once in any of the Holy Ghost accounts in Acts.
