The fundamental problem surrounding liturgical dance, speaking in tongues, holy laughter, and all the other nonsense that the Charismatic movement has been spreading is that Charismatics know no authority other than their own emotions. Neither pope, nor pastor, nor scripture will sway them from an opinion if that opinion is felt to be a spiritual one.

The only problem is that Christianity is a faith of externally revealed divine truth, not internally discovered divinity...and Charismaticism is therefore incompatible with it.

It is? Could have fooled 'em on the Day of Pentecost.

The "standard argument" used by non-Pentecostal Protestants to deal with the issue is to claim that "the day of prophecy is closed as is the time of miracles".

You'll notice that tosses the burden of defending the practice back to the Pentecostals.
