Do you believe in Pentecostal Shouting? - Page 17

I have an issue with the way the question is worded.

Do I believe it exists? Yes.

But whether or not I think it is right, or necessary, is a whole nother ball game.

So you believe in choreographed (sp?) dancing? Now that sounds like that is more for show than a true shout! Hey doc, lets say that right now, your best friend is to come up to you and give you a million dollars, what would you do? I don't know about you, but i'd act like the biggest fool around! I would run, jump, shout, scream, holler, not caring who's around, or who saw me... and none of it choreographed! (sp?) Why? Because of the joy that I fell at what I have, and who gave it to me! Now, the Holy Ghost is the greatest thing this side of Heaven, right? So when you think about what God has done for you and where he has brought me from, I feel a shout coming on!

I'd do all that stuff you said, and then make a beeline straight for the FORD dealership!!!

Bro. Eastman... you are preaching this Sunday about God... you have three women in the church who begin running around the sanctuary... then they do a few flip flops... one walks the pews... the other is screaming uncontrollably... and there is a SINNER in your midst who needs a Saviour... now those women are just using their emotions to Praise God and according to you.. thats in order because this is supposedly GOD making them do this.......

God is in the stillness... Remember the Still Small Voice.. God was not in the thunder and lightning.... He loves to be reverenced.... He's not looking for a Party as much as he is reverence

Actually... maybe I'm just not like you... I would never lose my senses... I would express my gratitude and go straight to the bank

At first the sinner woman doesn't know what to think about all these people running, jumping, and having a good time. Then she starts to wonder what it is they are so excited about. She just has to know what it is that makes these people get so happy about their God. Then she decides that, whatever it is these people have she definitely wants, and another name is added to the Book of Life. I just love a happy ending. Don't you?

That is like my dad always said if someone in the church were to play the lottery and win, he would say, just pay your tithes and give your offering and don't tell me where it came from!!!
