That's between God and them

There are times when the Presence of the Holy Spirit has come upon me, and

I seem to react by crying, because it is usually when I am praying for someone else.

I don't see the difference between the experience I have and other people laughing, or shaking.

If a person is seriously under the presence of the Holy Spirit, and THEIR way of responding is by falling or laughing, we should not be questioning it.

I think that people respond to the Spirit in different ways.

That's between God and them

Then why may I ask...are we questioning it? 

 

I dunno

are a couple of you critisizing/or making fun of me for asking about this... or are you guys horsing around? *nervous*

can i have scriptures that persuede you in your belief?

[Gerioke]

acts :13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Where does it say or how can we derive that Visions, Prophesy and dreams translate into lets say "Laughing"

I do not however see the point that being broken in the Spirit and touched by the Holy Spirit " Crying" equals un-controlled laughing.

Is it not extra Biblical to claim that we should not question and discern the spirit ?

Just a few questions, and again I am learning has we go along.

Nice to meet you Yomo

Gerioke, and Yomotalking have said it about as well as can be said.

You've probably seen someone put their hand on a hot burner. When I was a kid, I worked in restaurants (free eats is a good side-benefit when you're first out on your own!), so I've seen it numerous times. Some people grab the afflicted hand with their other hand and SHAKE IT! Others simply shake the hand through the air. Other people people BLOW on it repeatedly. Some people just RUN IN PLACE! Some people CUSS!!! One preacher I knew grabbed his hand and stompped back and forth (or 'forth and back' if you prefer), saying repeatedly "Praise God! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!" (I know what he REALLY meant!).

None of these things really help, but the point is the person has just had an OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE, and everyone responds differently to such an experience. Even so with the Spirit of God.......

John 20

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them , and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

This is cool

Since Christ is in us , we can breath the holy spirit into other believers

I do see your point my Freind,

My point is did the "OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE" come from God.

Even Satanist can have "OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE" with shaking of the Body and Demonic possesions.

The essence of my problem is that if a ministry is not supported with concrete proof that stems from the Bible like....

Say for example Prophesy it stems from the Word of God, the Triune nature of God can be extracted from the Word of God, it will leave the door open for New Age Theories to walk in.

You can't find anything relating to "Laughig/Falling" in any early Christian works either, like the works of Flavius Josephus.

Not saying I think I cannot be corrected, I would love to be corrected has long has the Glory is Gods and God is glorified through it.

But for me anything extra-Biblical should be examined with a Microscope.

Malachi 3:18

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
