What is going on here?

If you want to jump on the pulpit and do the running man like the dude in the video, have at it.

If you want to do the macarena or the funky chicken, go on and do it. If you want to c walk across the altar, whatever.

this place is so bipolar. many things that are considered worship is said to be caused by demons... somehow this gets a pass.

The brethren in X country (I don’t recall who posted it) highly condemned his behavior.

And no, I don't know what battles he faced or why he felt the need to jump on the pulpit to worship, when he could have done so on the floor. Why the need for people to see what he's doing?

And leave snarky remarks because there’s a smoke machine in the background of a preaching clip

Ezekiel was just an "alleged prophet"?

Well, this clarifies everything.

Ezekiel 4:12-16

12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. 15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

Too bad Ezekiel didn't have ndavid for his Gehazi, the "prophet" would have been spared a lot of trouble!

It's not "this place". It's the generally widespread lack of discernment among people, worldwide. People are too superstitious, everything is caused by a spirit (God's if you like what's going on, the devil's if you don't), and everyone wants to pontificate and be the judge.

Instead of simply comparing what is presented to your consideration with Scripture. Because that's so out of date and takes too much time, you can't just mash the like button or a thumbs-down, like one of Pavlov's dogs.

("You" in general, not you personally.)

I guess you think worship and praise should be kept in the closet, not done where anyone can possibly see you, much less video taped and put out on the intardnets where AFF's very own Statler and Waldorf can chastise what isn't approved?

Correction, make that Siskel and Ebert. Statler and Waldorf were far more entertaining.

Good grief.

It's funny how you never actually defend your claims when it comes to Scriptural or theological issues, you just repeat your claims as if that were all the proof anyone could possibly need.

I don't have the book of Ezekiel memorized. The only thing "clarified" is I missed the reference to Ezekiel.

No, Ezekiel wasn't told to bake and eat a cow patty. He was told to cook BREAD using the dung as fuel.

If you're going to be snarky, at least get the story right.

What's funny is that you mocked me for not remembering a reference to Ezekiel ... but in the process you didn't even get it right.

He was told to bake and eat bread, using the dung as fuel, not eat a cow patty.
