I personally feel the Penecostals put too much emphasis on the role of the Holy Spirit in worship. Thus where the use of speaking in tongues comes from. The Bible speaks of a Christian being baptised of the Spirit and they take to far imo, however, there other beliefs line up with mine, and I have no doupt they are Christians too.
Speaking in tongues as mentioned the bible is not the same as the video u see on Youtube. In the bible it was when the 12 apostle first went to spread the Gospel to the known world the Abibity to speak, and everyone hear it in their own lang. For example the Apostle Thomas went to the region around the Indus river, for the people to understand him he must have had the gift of tongues.
When it comes to the HS there is a difference between indwelling and possesstion, I feel the people in the video above are misguided into thinking it has more to do with possesstion.
That is not my church back home man. It is not. And so what if they want to praise God with a joyful shout. Praise in any form is still praise that is deemed worthy by God. Maybe some would prefer for the very rocks to cry out but I would much rather have His loyal creation to.
I never said it was a bad thing, that is how they choose to worship God, that is fine. My great uncle was an AoG preacher for over 20 years, so I respect them, I just think they have a wrong view of the Holy Spirit's role, hardly an issue to fight over, but big enough to keep me from joining the AoG unless there were no other Evangelical churches around.
