I would like to think that I have a little "charisma," but that I certainly am not a "charismatic" as we define it. But a number of scriptures seem to promote and sanction what would give Baptists heart failure in church...such as...
Psalm 134:2 "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD."
We even sing "Let's just praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let's just lift our hands toward heaven, and p-r-a-i-s-e the Lord"
If they were to actually do it, we'd exclude 'em....or at least tell the pastor to go and talk to them. I am not promoting this...just curious why we as Missionary Baptists are so scared to do something that is permissible, even sanctioned in the scriptures.
(Perhaps this fits Michael Reese's "Castaway Blog")
