The music in the video was just a remix music video showing images from the church services. Black churches have always been more centered in music than others, although plenty of other churches are as well. Music and dancing is not a bad thing in Christianity. It is an act of praise. While the video looked extreme, because it was edited to be so, it is a common feature in many black urban churches.

Definitely it's like all the singers at the church didn't make it in the business, and the others are dancing because they miss going to the club. LOL

years ago, a non-Muslim asked me, why Malaysian Muslims dont beat themselves like the Arabs (he's referring to the Ashura)
 
Don't want to sound racist even though I am black myself, but I'm not surprised at all. Black churches are usually loud and it's like they're in a club half the time. They take it really seriously though, 'cause they really believe that the holy spirit is in them astaghfirullaah.

My Aunt used to live in a rough neighbourhood, and ever Sunday we would hear people screaming ''Jezuuuuuuusssss!'' and in the background you could hear loud church claps and sometimes even reggae music. They believe that they can connect to their religion better that way. :muddlehea

I hear you on that one! My dad used to have a store (ugh the store..) in a pretty ghetto neighborhood. Every Friday and Saturday they would park across the street with their big speakers and just preach and play music for hours :'(
 
Maybe this will help. Here's a good scripture to use, from the Old Testament:

'And it shall come afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.' Joel 2: 28.

And also here:

'And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galiliaeans?

And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

Phyrgia, and Pamphylia in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.'

Acts 2: 1-13.

Greetings,

Does anyone else think that the music in that clip has just been edited over the top of the church images? In other words, the music you hear in that clip isn't actually from the church service, only the images are.

(That might have been what Keltoi was saying, but I wasn't sure.)

In any case, the people seem to be enjoying their dancing. If that's how they want to worship, then that's up to them.

Dancing is usually harmless - unless I do it, of course. People start running for the hills whenever that happens. :D

Peace

Fedos,

Are any of the words above those of Jesus (as)?

Well, Jesus says here in Luke 24: 48-50:

'And ye are witnesses of these things.

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.'

And also here in St. John:

'These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your rememberance, whatsoever I have said unto you.' St. John 14: 25-26.

'But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.' St. John 15: 26.

'Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement.

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

Of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.' St. John 16: 7-15.
