Touche. I agree. People can pray their hearts out in a room full of people without anyone but God and they knowing they are praying. It just bothers me to hear these people being referred to a kooks, though some may be just that. Others though may be new Christians and praying with ferverence and sincerity as hard as they can for Teri and not really concerned with, "Oh, look at me" at all. I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. But that's just me.
I take it from some of the remarks on this thread that we don not have very many carismatic Christians here. There are many ways of worshiping. Some people need the old traditional "high" liturgy to feel as if they are worshiping. Some need a relaxed "social club" approach to feel comfortable. But charismatics are serious about worship. They put their whole body & soul into praying, singing and testifying. It's noisy and appears to be caotic, but it's their way and I wouldn't knock it. Neither would I mock them out of fear of God's wrath. "He who says, "thou fool" is in danger of hellfire."
