What is called "falling out in the spirit," "holy laughter" and the wild jerking and body gyration that is so dominant in many churches today, should be judged based on what the Scriptures teach and what is changed in the lives of the individuals? It should never be borrowed from some false religion. There are accounts of worship, where David danced before the Lord and the healed a man in Acts three, walking, leaping and praising God, but the individual was always reverential with great awe before the Lord. Did God ever instruct David to worship Him with all instruments and loud voice and dance? Did David ask the Lord or any prophets about the appropriateness of this type of worship?
