Why did the Baptists dance in the church?
The Baptists danced exuberantly, meaningfully. They meant to glorify God with their dancing, and it can not be doubted that God saw their good intentions. However, what the Methodists, Presbyterians, and Catholics saw was the most awful dancing ever. Children cried at the sight of the awful performance.
Do you think dancing is a sin in the Bible?
It’s probably a caricature. It’s true that some forms of dancing are genuinely sinful, as are some forms of music and reading material. But the Bible prescribes music, dancing, and (obviously) reading as well. I’ve never actually met a Christian from any denomination who really believed that all forms of dancing are from the devil.
Is there dancing that does not grieve the Holy Spirit?
The only dancing I feel that wouldn’t grieve the Holy Spirit is the dancing a husband and wife might engage in, in the privacy of their own home (not to the tune of worldy music though). Luckily for the rest of us, the Holy Spirit seems to feel differently, considering the very positive portrayal of dance throughout the God-breathed Scriptures.
