Worship in any form, standards included, should be done in an intimate way, IMO. As such, I think that it might serve better to have a private worship style and a public worship style. I try to.

Re: Sometimes I think.....
Honestly, I am still of the opinion that nearly all public worship is nothing more than a slightly disguised mating ritual where men try to attract women and women attempt to show off their competitors.

Why does it seem like there worship is much more sincere than ours? I think that our natural apostolic judgmental spirit might have something to do with it.
What are your thoughts.....?!?!?!?! No pun intended...
BTW...I am always a little hesitant before I post a new thread! lol...it took me a couple of minutes to finally press the 'Submit New Thread' button. haha

Wow, you have stumbled onto a GREAT subject, here. I, for one, am HIGHLY concerned who worships God the best. I propose a worship competition in which various demographics will be nominated. They would then each meet in a large church somewhere and each group would get ten minutes to see who can impress God the most.
A panel of judges could decide the winner. The panel could have former renowned worshipers, kinda like the NBA dunk contest where Dr. J and Dominique Wilkins are judges. Maybe I could be one of the judges since I used to be a worshiper. I'm not a worshiper any longer, you know, since I've left pentecostalism and prefer to follow the biblical mandates of worshiping God with my actions and life rather than meaningless noise that only gets the attention of people and not God and has people leaving a church service talking about everything except Jesus....but since you people think this stuff is important, just have a contest and see who wins.

Re: Sometimes I think.....
Fast forward this video to 6:30, and watch it from there. These people seem so free in their worship. I really believe they are connecting with God.

Now watch this. It looks like they don't even want to be there.

Re: Sometimes I think.....
Those two vids are probably not a fair comparison united. I do enjoy Hillsong stuff.
But I could enjoy and worship this way too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qo0V...1&feature=fvwp
