why are some churches reserved and some are known for shouting during service?

We all say a more or less reverent, "Amen" at the end of a prayer, but that's about as rowdy as we get.

Kinda like us. Pretty much the only thing you'll hear as I'm preaching is me....and a few kids that are jabbering away. My podcast listeners have commented about hearing kids in the background. But we are a real church.

Always meant to see that...just never had the chance.

If you could go and hear Jesus Christ preach the gospel , He would out shout the best of them ...... See they did not have a microphone in the day Jesus got up and preached ....... So people who preach shouting got it because of no microphone with a amplifier .....

Also in the movie there is just a organ whereas in Swaggart's church(and in many other Pentecostal churches) there is a full band and also sometimes people would be dancing during songs is there are reason why some churches are quiet while other are really enthusiastic during service?

Some organizations have the prejudice that you are there to receive graces from a representative of God through a ritual, others that you are there to learn from the song lyrics and the teaching elder. Then there are those who gather together to celebrate as a group for being part of the kingdom
