Does dancing "in the Spirit" look different when it is to the beat of a drum (like the Pentecostals who are called "drum jumpers") than it does if it is done with blue grass or with rock or with rap or whatever?
Ever been in an Apostolic/Pentecostal mosh pit?
I figure dancing in the spirit is a response to the Spirit rather than to music. So it is probably not to the beat of anything, more often than not. That is how it was/ is for me.

This is yet another example of why we apostolics need mental health services. We condem "dancing" ....then.....we have sign choirs that aren't really sign choirs but interperative dance groups. Now some of them dance well, some dance badly, but let me tell you that 2 minutes of movement to the beat of a song punctuated by a random amslang word, is, indeed, dance.

So, when the Bible tells us to praise the Lord with the timbrel and dance in Psalm 150:4, and to praise His Name in the dance in Psalm 149:3, and that there is a time to dance in Ecclesiastes 3:4 it is in reference to Jewish dancing like in this video? And when we read about Miriam grabbing a tambourine and leading the women in dancing in Exodus 15:20-21 it is like the dancing in this video? And when we read about David dancing before the Lord with all his might in 2 Samuel 6:14 it is like the Jewish dancing in this video?
In the New Testament we are told to worship the Lord with Psalms, and hymns, etc so we would expect to see the same kind of instruments and the same kind of dancing in the NT church that it speaks about in Psalms?
I doubt Miriam or David danced like these men.
I don't think the hora was around then...but, I'm sure however they danced it was beautiful and unto the Lord.
In the Bible, the Israelites use dance as a form of religious expression. From images of Miriam leading the women across the Sea of Reeds to numerous references throughout the Psalms, it is clear that dance was an expression of joy, awe, and worship. (Jewish Dance)

It's spiritual warfare dance! Yeah, she'd doing battle with devils, there. Did you see her shooting them down, near the end? And did you see her starting that lawnmower? (Demon mower, actually! lol) And the robot dance? That part was, uh, hmmm. Not sure what that was about.

To be a servant of God, it will cost us our total commitment to God, and God alone. His burden must be our burden... Sis Alvear
