He is a great example of the God appointed king of Israel humbling himself before God, in uninhibited joy. I don't recommend dancing half naked in church today for the sake of others, but some people on this forum could really benefit from that level of humility. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't benefit from that level of humility before God.

And yes I remember your unbiblical belief that King Saul's like-minded daughter is more righteous in her pride than King David in his humility, but I see that as another of your special interpretations.
Your impression of David is far different than the picture 1&2 Samuel present of him. But you really have to read what scripture says, not what you want it to say, in order to really understand it. Don't get me wrong, David was a great man ... he just was no angel. :)

I'd have to give that about an 11 on the irony meter.

As Servantjohn stated sign language is beautiful, bold and emotion all in one. It's like your words of praise are dancing for the Lord. They become one!

posted: David was a great man ... he just was no angel. Wondering who is including myself.

Dancing in the Spirit and participating on a dance team isn't the same thing - though both can be worship. Agree with Willie T, love watching someone dance in the Spirit. As far as someone being in the front, isn't that where we usually go to pray for others or to be prayed for, ETC?

In my church dancing in the Spirit isn't really a big deal because practically everybodyyyyyy does it. From what I've read in some of the posts I'm a bit confused, do some churches have dancing in the Spirit in front of the congregation? I've never heard of that, in my church people usually just do it during singing or if the preaching gets real intense.
I think dancing in the Spirit feels soooo good ^.^ It doesn't take much to get me going and just dance for the Lord!

I do sometimes...especially when worship music goes. I am the only one from the church...there are some girls with flags, but I like to just dance, when I feel so. I know that it looks a little bit strange, especially because it is new.:o But as FuegoPentecostes said, I don't do it in front of the congretation:D.

I think dancing in the spirit can be anywhere - in the aisle, in the front, in your kitchen.... and yes, I've done it. Sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't focus on the person doing it. It doesn't matter one way or the other. The person who is dancing in the spirit is not worried that someone might see him or her and is also not worried that people might not see, unless there is a leading from the Holy Spirit to do it where it can be seen - and yes, that does happen.

I read this and shouted AMEN xD

Sometimes I've got my praise music on in the kitchen when cleaning up and I the Spirit just fills me and I start dancing and sometimes my mom comes in and will be like "I saw that . . ."
