Do you get Drunk in the Spirit?

Why or Why Not?

Is it biblical? Why or Why Not?

I really think its a matter of semantics. To be drunk does mean to be filled. The problem is however 'drunk' has a negative connotation that is frowned upon in the Bible, whereas being filled with God's Spirit IS Biblical. Let's not condemn people based on semantics, okay? Now one thing I will make note of, the epistles do stress order in the congregations, not disorder. Being drunk tends to mean disorderly, and I think some have taken this disorderly idea too far in charismatic circles.

Just curious, but do you observe all 613 laws of the Torah? I have been studying this matter of late, and how there was a dispute in the early church with John, Peter and Paul, as Paul was teaching so much against the law. It is obvious to me that the Gentiles were never meant to adopt the 613 laws, but perhaps to adapt to a Noachic law; the laws given to Noah, and Adam, and to also accept the teachings of Jesus, and the ten commandments. I think that Paul was in the middle of a big dispute, between the Jewish Christians and the new Gentile believers, and what was appropriate for both communities.
I have just read 'Jesus' Words Only' by Douglas J. del Tondo, and he makes a good case against Paul, as being opposed to the teachings of Jesus, who taught that the law was still in place, and always would be.

so you justify your sins because the bible doesnt say anything about it?

do you also go to nightclubs? since the bible doesnt say anything about it as well?

Being "drunk in the Spirit" is not biblical brother, you need to repent

your combining an unholy act with something that is holy, that is wrong.....repent


"dont be drunk with whine in excess, but be filled with the spirit"


does not mean "dont get drunk on wine but drunk on the spirit" im sorry to say

you need to examine yourself

God is a God of order, not disorder............And ive seen some of these videos, and these people running around carrying on, is not biblical

repent please

i didnt think i was sentencing someone to hell, can you show me where i did?

Also, if your running around "being drunk" in the Spirit as i have seen on youtube, then there is no semantics about it.





And why do you think the laws are still in place?

i honestly and say this the best way i can, idc what some book written by some guy says

i care about what the bible says


if you put into question what paul said and wrote for the bible

then you put into question the whole bible

For the gospels were written by men, not Christ, so if you question what paul says, then you, by default, should question what Luke and Mark wrote down, for they were only hearing what was happening


Also, if the law is so important, then why did Peter send this letter to the believing gentiles



The apostles and elders, your brothers,

To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:

Greetings.

24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.

Farewell.





^explain that please, and explain why the law is still in effect

The bible condemns drinking alcohol. So I don't go to nightclubs because nightclubs are all about alcohol. If they take alcohol out of nightclubs i might go then.
you should be sorry to say that you never praise the Lord in the dance. You should be sorry to say that you never dance before the lLord with all your might and ability. you should be sorry to say that you don't do those things on a regular every church service basis. And most probably you should also be sorry that you never got baptised in the Holy Spirit.

here's another proof. when they spoke in tongues , i.e got baptised in the holy spirit on the day of pentecost, they were accused of being drunk. Because obviously some or maybe all were drunk in the spirit. when one gets full of the spirit to overflowing it is an exillerating liberating feeling. One you no doubt have never experienced. I speak from experience, you don't.


For if you had done all those biblical things then you too would have gotten drunk in the spirit.

The bible doesn't list each specific thing that is allowable and each specific thing that is not allowable. The bible doesnt say anything about driving an automobile, or sking down a slope, or whether it's ok to put pews or chairs in a church building. IF the bible doesn't condemn something then it's ok. Going to night clubs would be condemned on the grounds that it is for getting inebriated. Drving a car is ok on the grounds there is no sin involved in the proper use of an automoblie. there is no sin involved in dancing before the Lord with all your might an ability. you can't do that on a regular baises without getting drunk in the spirit, or whatever you want to call it. Come back to me when you have decided to do what God says about praising him then tell me what you experienced as far as whether you got drunk in the spirit or not.
