Here’s what the Bible says about these things.


Music.

Psalm 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.


Lifting up hands.

Psalm 63:4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.


Singing loudly with joy and clapping.

Psalm 47:1 O CLAP your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy!


Singing in the Spirit.

1Cor. 14:15 Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will sing [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also.


Prayer with laying on of hands.

Mark 16:18 ..they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

We have all come from a background that is Catholic or Protestant, and, many of us from no religious background at all.  What we have in common is that we are regular people just like you who found new life in Jesus Christ.  We discovered that the Bible is truth and that God is a good God.
