I have seen some "pentecostals" use the term spirit-filled
to think of themselves more highly than other christians.
This is true to an extent in every faction of God's Church.
God's word does not make the gift of tongues any more special than the others.
I do belive that emotional worship services like are held in "pentecostal" and "spirit-filled"
churches are the truest forms of worship, but sometimes emotions and the leading of the Spirit
can get mixed up by some.

I agree. We can easily get into "flesh-based" worship, rather than true spiritual worship, because it feels good. But we also gotta remember who designed the flesh :) Ideally, our bodies and the emotions they produce and enjoy will be dedicated to God and His worship, and the fact that we're emotional in worship becomes a GOOD thing, rather than a flesh thing, if you know what I mean.
