Do you believe in Pentecostal Shouting?

When did shouting become Pentecostal?

Good point.

Perhaps there is Pentecostal shouting, then there is Biblical dancing like David did and the twain are mixed?

Of course David put her in her place:

2Sa 6:21 And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
2Sa 6:22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

BUT the point is that David worshiped WITH ALL HIS MIGHT. It was not some ballerina twirl, but a spinning top that was seen.

Matt keep laying the book on him.

I do not indict those who are not as demostrative as myself in worship since worship is between God and the worshipper. However to disparage those who are demostrative is coming between the worshipper and his God.

I think services should follow the leading of the spirit. I told our people tonight at a little village church that we need the anointing of God in our services more than anything else.

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".

We had one of those services tonight... it was AWESOME-- old fashioned "holy ghost church" !! (When is the last time you participated in an old fashioned "victory march" ? )

I'm SO glad the kids were all out in kidzchurch tonight.... My son is going through this stage (or at least I hope it's just a stage) of where he likes to imitate strange things he sees.

At youth camp, there was this boy who was double jointed who was showing my son some of the things he could do. My son has been trying for weeks to imitate him.

Tonight there was a lady who was just lost in the Holy Ghost for quite some time. Her dance was best described by her daughter-in-law as "the funky chicken dance" when she was telling the lady's daughter who works with kids church about the service.

I would have been SO embarassed if my son had been out there and wanted to imitate her....

I miss Pentecostal shouting and dancing and running the aisles. Whenever I go to church in Plaster Rock I get to do all those things, or if I'm at an old-school, conservative church I do that, but my home assembly is sort of mellow and people clap and maybe tap their foot a bit, but shouting would seem out of order and running the aisles wouldn't be something people would really do. If you are in a less outwardly demonstrative assembly, should you tailor the way that you worship for the sake of your brethren?

GOD BLESS!
