The man healed in Acts 3 went into the temple walking and leaping and praising God over a physical healing. Salvation is the greatest miracle, so I want to leap and praise in worship even more!

I think we have to distinguish between dancing because we are full of joy and jumping around to loud emotional music.

David's dancing was an outward expression of praising the Lord, it was done in the right context, dancing for the Lord in the right context is not wrong at all but one should not do so in a disruptive or provocative manner since God is a God of order, it is tricky to differentiate between dancing motivated by the Lord and his presence and dancing motivated by the flesh especially when the music is good, God judges both our actions and motives, we should check our motives when dancing for the Lord and make sure that our motive is to honor and glorify Jesus, when praising keep your mind focused on the Lord

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

I mean, Christians can disagree in some point but should always agree on the Gospel of Jesus.

Jesus Christ died for my SINS. I will dance for that.🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

There's always a balance in everything that we do....
Dancing for the Lord is not bad but taking it too far is bad....
The Lord delights in what we do to praise Him from the bottom of our heart....
If we really dance for the Lord and led by the Holy Spirit..it will never be too far....
God Bless

When God does something for you that's so lovely and beautiful doesn't matter where you are yo shout praise God even if you're alone

[evansmith]

Dancing has always been a form of worship in the Bible. People look for a scripture that gives specific permission for everything they don't like but don't apply the same rules for things that they do regularly. Where in scripture are we instructed to sit stoically before the Lord?

[rebeccaanderson]

There’s nothing wrong in dancing in church for God. The problem is when people take it too far to show their dance moves.

David danced because the Ark of the Presence of the Lord was back in their midst! How much more should we, the people of God, dance when 2 or more of us are gathered in His Name?! His presence is with us!!!

[themessenger]

Never quench the Holy Spirit...enter into his courts with praise..let no one dictate how you should praise and worship the Lord...so long as it's not 'fleshy' - and if it is fleshy that's between you and God AND other true worshippers with the true Spirit of God will pick up any false spirits.

I will never stop shouting and praising God in church or out of the church building!

[angelictigerette]

I dance in church. I don't even like public attention. Sometimes I don't even want to stand up, but God has done so much for me, and sometimes I feel moved to stand up and worship. I don't want eyes on me, but I silently talk to God and say, "It's You and me, " meaning I'm not putting on a show for anyone. It's just me and Him. Sometimes I'll even just close my eyes and sway.

[danagrace]

Yes, you can dance for the Lord and before the Lord. C'mon children of God!
Praise the Lord with shout, voice, singing, dancing and every other gift that He has bestowed on you🙌🙌🙌

[justmyopinion]

Imagine the singing, dancing, praising, hallelujahs when we see Jesus returning to fetch us!!!

[Mybigsissy]

I watched this video year ago (I was charismatic) and this made me upset to a great degree. But listening to it today as a Reformed Christian, with the understanding that verses should not be divorced from their context; understanding the sovereignty and holiness of God, I pretty much agree with Dr Voddie

[graceenemoh]

You can dance anywhere at anytime for the Glory of God so long as your heart is right before God. Agreed some people abuse that, but we’re not the Holy Spirit, He judges that!!!😊

To hear this guy say "bust a'move" and "get down with my bad self" was one of the funniest thing I've heard all day.

[joseymiller]

Yes, we can dance as worship to our Lord
