Bible Note: Glory777 again has given an excellent answer, one to which I'm in total agreement with. “There” you ask the question since it isn’t in the Bible should we do it? I see the Bible as map to lead us, to guide us in our journey of life. As long as we don’t stray off the pages of that map we will obtain the goal and that to hear “Well done good and faithful servant”. There are many things done in the church today that are not specifically spelled out in the Bible, There are many thing in life each of us do each day that is not specifically spelled out in the Bible. Does that make them wrong? No! However if any of them violate a Biblical tenet, standard, precept, charge, commandment, or statue then they can be declared wrong and are sin. In some churches we sing standing, in others we sing sitting. In some churches we pray sitting, in others standing, and in still others kneeling. All are different and none are specified in the Bible, are any wrong? Yes if any of the above is done for the wrong reason. If a person sings in church not to worship but to appear holy, or if one prays in church not to petition God but to appear spiritual then they are done incorrectly, or in error, even in sin. Should any man be appointed to decide who is praying for the right motives or who is singing with the right motive? NO! Scripture tells us we do not judge another man’s slave he is condemned or justified by his own master. With this in mind you asked the question since in some cases of being “Slain in the spirit” is done in the flesh is it dealt with? Yes it is dealt with, by God! No man was called to make the decision of what God has for his servant is right or wrong. You can make the decision, that for you, and where you are in the your walk with the Lord it is right or wrong. But unless it violates the road map of the Bible what right do does anyone have to call it authentic or not? |
