Jumping Over Pews, Running The Aisles, Rolling, and Barking.

[catlover]

Some Christians consider running aisles, and barking like a dog to be a form of worship.

Do you believe people barking like dogs, rolling, running, and jumping are forms of worship?

The Toronto Vinyard movement and The Assemblies of God has some barking.

Jumping over pews, running, and rolling can be found is some Pentecostal movements.

Some Assemblies of God and certain factions of The Vinyard Movement get that wild.

This Kind Of Worship Comes From Emotion Not
Reason. I Think Alot Pastors Want Money And
Playing On Emotion Is VERY WRONG.

They Just Tell The People Want To Hear They
Dont Use Reason.

My Church Only Tells Me I Have The Hope Of
Heaven, We Dont Have Guarantee's

The "strange," "free move" associated with the "Toronto Blessing" has stirred controversy within the Christian faith... However, many Pentecostals argue that the "Toronto Blessing" is a genuine manifestation of God's Holy Spirit, in which people are receiving healing, joy, peace, and faith. How can one determine the validity of the "interesting" manifestations? Is it a move of God for people to walk around a church and cluck like chickens or suddenly fall to the floor (better know as "slain in the spirit" by Pentecostals)? Many people feel that the actions are not from God

Some report uncontrollable weeping, falling to the floor in ecstatic trances, and animal noises such as barking like dogs and roaring like lions

Not in the least bit, no.

I've seen most of it on video clips.

No, it's not worship and no, such behavior is not of the Holy Spirit.

 

[JimfromOhio]

The key is when we are in a community of people when worshipping, its matter of respect and self-control. Spirit-lead worship is outlined in Galatians 5:22-23 "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." That if we have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make our joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. (Philippians 2:1-2). Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God (Colossians 3:16).

Thanks to you, she is one lucky girl.

Well, it certainly looks like a form of fellowship.

My friend's dog does that about each time she sees her friend.
