Dan,<br><br>On some issues it is good to be confused to an extent. This keeps us looking to God continually instead of thinking we have arrived. <br><br><blockquote>1. God gave us emotions. <br><br>2. Some music is very soothing, moving, and worshipful, et. al. God expects us to have emotions in worship. I literally weep (controllably) during some songs because the words are driven to my heart and I am responding to the truth of the message therein. At other times I am rejoicing.<br><br>3. We are also to control our emotions as seen in the Scriptures as well (we should not over-weep or over-rejoice, but always responsive to the truth in worship). Thus, the Church and you personally have a responsibility to insure things are done decently and in order.<br><br>4. The Church is a place for each person's individual worship to come into community with others to glorify God alone. Each of us affect another's worship in "community." Thus, it is imperative to worship in Spirit and Truth.<br><br>5. In our present state, there may only be momentary synchronicity, and you will always be adjusting and readjusting to insure, to the best of your God given ability, you are glorifying God to the highest. Some times you will be able to worship God "more fully" than at other times. But, also remember that worship is far more than a "feeling" (yes, it does include them), it is reverence, the realization of who God is, who you are, what He has done, what He is doing, et. al. </blockquote> Having all this in mind your statement says much, "The Spirit will affect one emotionally, but emotions don't necessarily mean the Spirit was the cause."
Reformed and Always Reforming,
