Shockamoo - (noun) This is a term coined by Thad to describe the demonstrative worship that has been one of the hallmarks of Oneness Pentecost. It includes, but is not limited to, dancing, running the aisles, leaping for joy, rolling on the floor, and various other exuberant expressions of praise. This is a kind of worship that is vigorously objected to by CC1 and other backsliders.

It means to SHOUT? Interesting, very interesting.

Thank you Sister.

Well, "Shout" in the Pentecostal way of speaking. If you told our congregation to "shout", they would holler at the top of their lungs. They don't know what "shout" means in Pentecostal terms!

It's not wild shockamoo like I've seen in Pentecostal services in the past. Our people have never seen the crazy bucking, eyes-closed type of shockamoo. But we have dancing, jumping, etc., especially on Wed. nights when we focus more on praise & worship. We call our Wed. nights "Encounter Services" and that's when we really seek for the gifts of the Spirit, healings, Holy Ghost, etc.

I have only seen someone run here maybe three times. That would be rare.

I grew up in UPC and never saw running until I moved to Jackson, MS, other than one time I remember at camp meeting when I was a teenager. You have to understand our people did not grow up in Pentecostal churches, so they have never seen anyone RUN. And it's not in the Bible, so you can't teach it like dancing, shouting, clapping, etc. It's just an emotional release that is ok, but it's definitely not an injunction from Scripture.

I actually saw a guy take off and run around the church in Ed Young's conference and it's Baptist!
