People running and screaming is scary enough for visitors but a guy jumping up on the pulpit and screaming is beyond scary. That guy would appear to most folks to be stark raving mad
I think it's beyond absurd and frankly if a preacher has to resort to that then maybe he did not spend enough time praying for his message..that or he expects the church he is preaching to to perform like pavlovs dogs and the aren't

Re: Standing on the Pulpit.........
I think it's our behavior more than anything that keeps us from winning more souls. This would be a prime example

Agreed. If your message isn't strong enough on it's own, the stunts won't help much.
