IMO, it wasn't a good example. I am very certain that God moved only because of the faith in the room.
And, again, it was way too sensational for me. For the record, my husband is in agreement. He also said it reminded him of the magic hair issue, and that we can't allow people to rely on noise when they are seeking something from God. For one thing, it usually has short term effects - his words.

That's not transversing between two opinions. Like Ferd said, if the whole of the conference was about shouting, I wouldn't agree with it. My approval of Stoneking's 5 minutes on the shout doesn't contradict my belief that a person shouldn't focus SOLELY on the shout.

Okay.
