Just as the brain scan cannot tell the state of the soul neither can dancing. A elder would have to be in the room with the person and test them. At least that is how Mountain of Silence says it works.
right, but there are some trends throughout history. those in the Pentecostal movement that do that stuff fall much more in line with those that are demonically possessed or whatever. a holy elder would be the best bet, since his spiritual eyes are more open.
He didn't. He said it "falls in line" with the kind of displays seen with the demonically possessed.I'd be careful calling "that stuff" "demonically possessed". That's not a place I'd like to be standing.
Well if I saw it then I could believe in the war easier. I have been looking for proof of the supernatural for my whole life and never found any.
Theoretically, but how many demons fell? I don't think we have demographics on angels and demons.Another thing to keep in mind that there is a finite number of demons, since they are the fallen angels. On the other hand, the number of people on earth in the time of Christ are estimated to be anywhere from 200 to 300 million, while it is now approximately 7.3 billion (~7,293,000,000). So if we use the 300 million figure, our current population would dilute the demon population by a bit more than 24 times. As a consequence, mathematical averages would mean that demons would appear only about 1/24th the frequency. If the population in Jesus time was 200 million, today they would appear only about 1/36th the frequency. I think that would explain much of it. Also, as they are exorcised over history, do they just go to another body or do they go to Hell; if it is Hell, then the number of demons on earth since the time of Christ have been declining, too.

that is why I brought up history. the shaking, howling, pretending to be animals, basis of feelings of euphoria, speaking gibberish, etc are more in line with demonic possession. can they be of God? absolutely. but if you even glimpse throughout Scripture or history that is not His MO. it is the devil's.
Your first sentence indicates the answer. You are looking for proof so you can gain motivation (belief) to resist the enemy. Do you expect him to provide you with that proof, knowing that it would be a tactical error on his part to do so?
But why would God and Satan ignore me?

who says they are? often I have found that God and the devil are more subtle than I want them to be (although God knows what I need more than I do, and often what I want is not what I need).

the vid did not come up for me for some reason, Seventh.
