I am all for "shouting" or jerking or whatever. However, I do not agree with the whole "I just lost control" or "I couldn't stop". I don't understand rolling on the floor... and I am not pro shout-in-tongues. That is against what Paul taught. Decency, order... ya know? And no, I am not saying "not to speak in tongues." But, do it biblically. Paul said to speak silently to yourself and to God. Meaning, speak softly. Library voices.
I am amazed that some seem to believe that "old time shouting" is out of order.
Do you believe in what the old timers called "shouting". I am talking about where the power of God falls in a service and folks start cutting a jig, or screaming? I am not talking about the Charismatic 2-step we see nowadays. But where one gets "lost" in the holy ghost. It used to be called "getting a blessing".
Do I "believe in it...?" Well, yes. But I also believe in a lake that burns with fire for all eternity.
I'm curious; how do you describe "old time...?" 1970s'? Was that old time? Of course "shouting" oneself insensible goes back to Old Testament times.
I remember when we used to judge the sanctity of another church by how their saints tore it up at campmeeting.
Have any of you ever shouted in church over being thankful for the wife He gave you? We got into a mini-testimony contest at this one church over thanking God for our wives. It was all done in good fun, mind you. Us men started braggin on our wives and what we loved so much about them and how thankful we were to the Lord for givin us such a good thing! This song made me think of that.
I voted yes, and it seems your initial assumption was incorrect from the poll!
Secondly, I believe in shouting unto God - not shouting because i'm pentecostal or I'm with pentecostals. I actually prefer to shout when I am alone rather than infront of others - and no because of my pride - BUT BECAUSE of my pride.
That's not to hard to figure out if you read it right!
Doctor Vaughn, Do you suppose those who were in the upper room were "out of order"? They appeared to be drunk (so, I guess they would've appeared that way); however, they weren't drunk as were supposed, but were loud enough to seam that way because GOD was in control.

Brother Eastman.. I have quoted the scriptures on here MANY times to PROVE EMPHATICALLY that the drunk statement has NOTHING to do with their worship or any of their behavior it had to do with their ability to speak in foreign languages...... and upon hearing this the onlookers said "What causes them to do this" and then others responded "this must be some new wine"
It soooo sad to me that Pentecostal try to make this more than it was..... not ONE MENTION of their PRAISE or WORSHIP....... never one record of anyone shouting or dancing and yet you Pentecostal try to recreate that whole scene to fir your paradigm......
No one was ACTING DRUNK....... these onlookers attributed their ability to break the language barrier as possibly some kind of new wine that no one had heard of... they couldnt think of anything else to attribute it to... it would be like if we heard something happening among a group of people that we could not explain ...... we would say "must be some new drug or something"
Here's a challenge... read the Story of Pentecost and show me ONE SCRIPTURE where they were doing the Pentecostal jerk and roll.... show my anything that compares to that

The challenge once again falls upon you because I have experienced what I have experienced, and unless you've been there you will not be able to convince the 81% of us that you are right. I've given you a few scriptures, you have yet to prove your case with any scripture. If we are MAD as you suppose, then show us the error of our ways, if not, drop out of the conversation until you can give us something that is substantial.
