Re: Worship.
I'd sure feel better about the "holy rollin", the answer to the push from the pulpit to "Go ahead and act apostolic!"(meaning jump up and down, holler, run the isles etc.) if I found N.T. scripture supporting it in a church service/gathering "setting"(excluding "be not drunk...., but be filled w/ the Spirit", and "they're not drunk as you suppose....."). I'm not convinced that when Paul was setting service in "decency and in order", he saw, or had this type of "spirit praise" in mind. However,
I do think its fine and great to feel excited when praising the One who redeemed us! How can that not be an exciting worth? The main problem I have is when it's expected and pushed as a show of being what makes you apostolic/pentecostal", and if you're not showing intense display, you're viewed as being backslid, not prayed up, or losin' the victory etc.
As far as "worship", I (personally) consider it to be much deeper and more serious than praise.
