The problem with the push for emotional experiences is the counterfeits, and in some cases the demonic, cannot be distinguished by those unfamiliar with Gods word. Further people then base what is true on their experiences rather than on Christ.

An example are those “Spiritual” experiences with ‘Holy Spirit Laughter and Drunkenness”...and the uncontrollable head-shaking ad twisting which has infiltrated churches.....this “display” is the same out of control experiences Hindus experience thru Kundalini..or the touch from a Hindu Priest....thrashing about etc....it's an impostor/counterfeit holy spirit...not from God.

Hm. I haven’t seen the “head-shaking ad twisting which has infiltrated churches” for over a decade. Is that taking place now?

Are you familiar with Jonathan Edwards’ “Treatise on Religious Affections” ( http://www.ccel.org/ccel/edwards/affections.html )? He addressed these unusual emotional expressions ... which were taking place in the 1700s! :-)
