Holy Ghost Explosion

You know what? This video is so NOT who we are as a church, but I will never make fun of someone´s worship. I have seen our young people so drunk in the Holy Ghost that they have to be led or carried home. Even children - so lost in the power of God that they can´t stop speaking in tongues. Our worship is different than this, but if you would have seen our recent youth conference, you´d probably be posting videos of it too and folks would criticize. It was wild, but those kid´s lives were radically changed.

Give me a little wildfire, rather than deadness. That may surprise some of you!

Sherri if their lives were not changed then there would have been a problem.

I am nor for people being stupid when they worship. I have seen people do some pretty dumb things: run with their eyes closed and break a bone running into a wall or post, kicking chairs through windows, hit people with flailing arms and feet, etc etc.
Sis A said it right, there has to be balance in our worship and praise. Besides we are told to do things decently and with order.
I would much rather have some live action, with order to it, than I would to be around a bunch of dead dried up pharisees. Got a lot of churches that want things too decent and in order and then others that want to just let it all hang out. GET BALANCED

its been over 10 years since i have seen a church get anywhere near that expressive in worship. I'd bet that utube was old. imho we have gone way in the opposite direction where people are really not extravagant in their expression of worship. but are rather quite restrained.

would say that you probably haven't been in the 'right' church then. besides the ones I know that worship like that tend to FROWN on use of the internet and thus we would most likely NOT see anything from them.
