I saw a young guy preaching for Bro Mooney one time who was strolling back and forth between the pulpit, the potted plants and the edge of the platform ,very narrow,with his fancy cowboy boots on,i knew Bro Mooney musta been doing a slow burn ,next time he came back, looked like the pulpit had been moved, along with the potted plants out just a bit,problem solved, LOL

I am not trying to sanction anyone's behavior, just questioning your authority to condemn it. COC uses your line of reasoning to ban musical instruments from being played in New Testament worship services. However, we are glad to reference David's psalms to justify what COC would deem "unjustifiable".
I am not sure what the word for somersault is in the original Greek, but I am going to go out on a limb and concede that you are most likely correct that Jesus nor the apostles employed gymnastic maneuvers in ministry. However, the religious people of that day tended to view both the behaviors of Jesus and John the Baptist as absurd. Turning over tables and smacking people with a whip in the temple? They sure thought that was over the line! What about rubbing mud in a blind man's eyes? And John the Baptist was certainly not mainstream. Of course, we would never be like those Pharisees who were constantly scrutinizing and criticizing Jesus' every move. But my guess is we only refrain from criticizing Jesus because, well..errh..he's Jesus! But to the religious establishment at that time, Jesus wasn't seen as who we know Him to be....he was just the MM that was always rubbing them the wrong way.

Re: Matt Maddix
I went to Matts soulwinners bootcamp in St. Petersburg 2 years in a row(a few years ago) It was a rush at the time, ie blitzing Ybor city with about 300 apostolics while they were partying it up in the streets. Fed a ton of homeless people. Picked up homeless folks living in the parks, for church service( of course we had to tell them we were headed to a party,,,(HG party)), kids park party was a good outreach....
I have a great respect for MM because of the way he is with the youth, they are a big priority and he takes time building friendships with as many as he can. Also, his passion to reach the lost at any cost. Also the fact that he had the guts at GC (I think)a few years back to tell pastors to quit hiding under their desks and get out in te streets.
That said, Screaming preaching gets on my nerves by anybody, as well as cartwheels across the platform like some do, but his sincere passion for souls stands out to me so much more than the radical platform stuff...
Just.my $.02

Re: Matt Maddix
I also must say tho, I had/have reserves about how many GENUINELY came to comprehend and partake in sincere repentance, and truly comprehend the gospel, thru the many that got baptized etc....in the bootcamps
