i also scream and yell when I am in pain but don't feel that means I need to scream when worshipping God or speaking. The analogy you used is one I have heard all my life and it is just as lame now as it was 50 years ago.
What I do at a sporting event has absolutely nothing to do with how I should worship. My relationship to God is in no way shape or form anything like my relationship to a football team or any other sporting event. It is extraordinarily shallow to make that comparison but I don't hold you personally responsibile for it since it is a Pentecostal tradition to make that analogy. LOL!!!

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
