I understand what you're saying, but in the forum that I'm talking about, it is an energy from God that is incredible. It's liberating, it's under control, it's "worshipful", it's in the flow with the things that are happening, and NOTHING about it looks "weird". I can guarantee you this.....NEVER...EVER....would anyone ever walk into our service and say, "They're insane" or "he's insane". And thereby, we are in complete adherence to the NT guidelines found in I Corinthians 14. |
I understand what your saying. Most would condemn my style of woship as being bapticostal. I've been in services where the preacher screamed if you didn't run there was something wrong with you, and I refused to run. I had people push me on the head, but like you, i'm not falling unless God causes me to.
At roughly 3 services a week for ten years that is over 1500 church services I attended, and I related an experience I had only once. I 100% completely agree with you that God moves on people without shockamoo. The most worshipful place for me is sometimes when I'm alone driving in my car, just praising God. (In English)
