CATLOVER!
How many times have you been told to stay out of those places!!!!
Now, that is 30 minutes time out and no dessert for you tonight!
DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE...!
Well, it certainly looks like a form of fellowship.
My friend's dog does that about each time she sees her friend.
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?
Oh I'm sure that some Pastors want money, but I'd guarantee they aren't limited to one particular type of church.This Kind Of Worship Comes From Emotion Not
Reason. I Think Alot Pastors Want Money And
Playing On Emotion Is VERY WRONG.
I, Like peace sometimes wonder what is behind some comments in these threads. God certainly works outside the box we put Him in.
Let me tell a story about my spiritual walk. I was thrown in with the Holy Ghost crowd soon after I committed my life to Christ in 73..I haven't experienced the barking, but I seen laughter, danceing and people prostrate before the Lord..I also pray, groanings, in the spirit when I can't come up with words.. But, I was always leery of when people laid hands on me to "help" me go down in the Spirit.
I got shown porn when I was a teen and it affected me to the point of being sent away by two wifes..In desperation, I went to a ministry service to rid myself of this oppression in my life. I was out of my seat and the first on up front. The man barely touuched me with the annointing oil and my body was like jello. I was flat on the floor with know one around except the pastor praying for me.. I was gloriously set free that night and have been porn free for 5 years.
I said all this to say not to limit God to doing this or that. Just be open to let God move the way he wants..
Blessings In Christ..Kim
Thanks for yor comment Peace..I was more focusing on not being open to those things outside of your comfort zone...Yes, it is VERY important to be discerning, but sometimes it is used broad brush any thing that doesn't "fit" into our boxes..pax..Kim
The most bizzarre I have witnessed is the holy laughter. I dont think it is Godly.

It was an Assemblys of God Chruch with Messianic overtones( by that I mean they built a mock wailing wall and when I stopped attending they were starting with shofars.)What Church was that?
Oh I agree. The girls I asked to leave didn't seem to be sobbing uncontrollably though. It was more like the barking etc... It was short punctuated groans of "hyah" where their whole body kinda convulsed while they yelled it out. I personally found it quite unsettling.I quietly sob to myself at Mass. My emotions are not for show. But this doesnt mean that others wont find it hard to control.
Just that - laughter: uncontrollable hysterical laughter. It was a big thing that went through a lot of churches a while back. Our church wasn't a part of it, but I saw it a meeting when I was at uni.I am confusedLaughter...how does this work>? And what does it sound like?
I can of course, only comment on the laughter I witnessed. There may be Godly laughter somewhere else..

The laughter was not the reason I left. It only happened once and that was when they had a guest speaker who was there to talk about it.?
Why do you ask?
