Re: Dancing: Ever acceptable outside Shockamoo?
And dancing in the church need not be "in the Spirit." That's false teaching and not really biblical. Dancing in the Spirit? Where'd they get that?

Shockamoo is something I have done. Many times "forced." Initially it was very real. Interesting story that I will not share here. Anyway, it is something that I have not done in yeeeears. And it's something that I will not judge in a light that is not positive.

I have done it too. Nor will I "judge" it. I will say i do not believe it to be a "spiritual" experience, per say.

Or it least it shouldn't be forced on people as some sort of standard bearer for people who "really love Jesus."

Re: Dancing: Ever acceptable outside Shockamoo?
I've also heard slow dancing called "belly rubbing dancing" and "polishing your belt buckle."

Re: Dancing: Ever acceptable outside Shockamoo?
Dancing in a church setting is a normal expression of joy and excitement; it should never be called being "in the spirit", IMO, but it usually is. (And is equated with spirituality.) Dancing for joy in God's presence is a perfectly acceptable form of praise and expression, as long as it's done decently and in order; it is not a positive indicator of a person's spiritual status.
I have never bought into the idea that people are in some kind of trance when they're dancing "in the spirit." I've seen people who wouldn't stop dancing even if the pastor needed to say something, or who (IMO) *pretended* they were unaware of anything around them. I know; I'm being cynical. Sue me.

Ditto! Could you please start your own forum were we can only post little affirmation smooths? You are right on a disproportionate number of posts!

I don't know, I've worked myself into an ecstatic frenzy on a couple of occasions
Nor is dancing required to be "Apostolic." People who have disdain for churches who worship differently just don't get it. You hear things like "You guys are dead" because they've put the Holy Spirit in a box of preference. I've sat through liturgical services with tears running down my face and I've danced with celebration joy having a wonderful time.
