@ChrisrB4Us,
I'm not sure why you tagged me to this thread. "Baptist" is not a denomination. My church does not practise "holy laughter" and we would not fellowship with churches that do. But we have no power over such churches and nor do we desire it. "Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind."
Having said that, if the Lord brings revival, then we will see more emotion among the churches; mostly weeping, but also joy. But joy does not mean giggling like an idiot.
This has nothing to do with me. Please keep your tags to yourself.
I don't know that. I think this to be highly unlikely since such a practice is highly not Biblical, therefore not Baptistic.
If you or your church worship the Holy Spirit with the Father & the Son or the Blessed Trinity instead of Christ, when that phenomenon does occur, maybe then you will know why I was alerting you to this type of phenomenon such as holy laughter but it can occur in other ways in manifestations of confusion & disorder.
Please don't tag me again in anything you write. My experience with you so far has been all negative.
Understandably since you believe in the continual filling of the Holy Spirit that you believe Baptists should seek after for which I have judged it as apostasy. You get mad at any association with Pentecostals & Charismatics but you keep failing to see the same rudiment; the same methodology that is the same as those that seek that phenomenon of holy laughter
again by focusing on the Holy Spirit, addressing the Holy Spirit to come & fill them
again. What you are preaching does not have to manifest holy laughter but it can. Don't be surprise if someone starts speaking in tongues that is just gibberish nonsense as a result too.
Strive ye to enter through that straight gate; Luke 13:24-30, do not be out to the market seeking an extra filling of oil hence the Holy Ghost, per Matthew 25:1-13 or you will be left behind at the pre great tribulation rapture event to die.
But with the Lord's help, I shall not warn you again as your blood is now washed off of my hands.
Ezekiel 33:1 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
