Oh... and blessings come with exaltation of the Lord... the two are tied together inextricably. Someone who is exalting the Lord energetically is in a GOOD place no matter how embarrassing the emotion may be to you. After all, King David danced until you could see his underpants! Now channeling of the emotion is needed — don’t get so carried away that you forget to do the right thing afterward. (David did and got a sobering lesson.) But with that caveat, the more the exaltation the better.

You might be referring to the practice of being “drunk in the Spirit,” or of the wild behavior that usually accompanies the “gift of tongues,’ at least from what I’ve seen. David dancing around is not the same as claiming that one is staggering or making animal noises or falling over as a result of the Spirit. When the Apostles received the gift of tongues, they were only accused by mockers of being drunk, since they supposed they were babbling, but not by those who understood the real languages that were spoken. The Apostles also denied being drunk, and instead quite soberly preached the Gospel. Which, if what you said is true, they would rather have been staggering about, and if we were really into it, shouting “Bam!” “Bam!” as they kicked people in the face, like Todd Bentley does.
