looking for a prooftext ...

For the Pentecostal practice of "running the aisles".

Please help.

I remember hearing " I have ran thru a troop and jumped over a wall" being quoted.

The new revised pennycostal translation has changed the wording to jumped over a pew.

Also the man in Acts 3 who was healed and went walking and leaping and praising God.

2 Samuel 22:30
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.


Hopefully no one thought I was serious with this reference ;-)

I doubt you'll find any proof text, other that scriptures where someone leaped for joy.

Leaping for joy being a physical action in response to God'd spirit moving upon someone could give license to all matter of other exubuarant physical forms of praise.


While we are looking for proof texts , maybe we could find one on running the backs of the pews.

I visited a church years ago that had this practice. Amazingly, most all the pews were breaking loose from their floor anchors.
I can only imangine God received great glory from this.

halal - (haw-lal')
make boast self, celebrate, commend, deal, make, foolish glory, give light, be make,

A primitive root; to be clear (orig. Of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify -- (make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool(- ish, -ly), glory, give (light), be (make, feign self) mad (against), give in marriage, (sing, be worthy of) praise, rage, renowned, shine.

Daniel,
If halal defines itself as being "clamorously foolish", "to shine", "to make a show", I think it then leaves that expression up to the individual.

What say you?

*sigh* I am SO weary of folks trying to low grade everything connected with being Pentecostal.

I know this is a public forum, and diversity of opinion is fine, but the CONSTANT harangue against everything I believe is beyond old.

So, goodbye cruel world...he's not going to stop, and it's not worth my time any more to care.

....of having a choir. Or taking an offering. Or using a pulpit. Or having a preacher break out in "tongues" repeatedly throughout his message. Or praying someone "through to the Holy Ghost. This list could get long.
