Charismatics tend to be very joyful in their worship and often include exuberant singing, clapping, flag waving, hand raising and dancing in their worship services. We do not do these things based on feelings but in obedience to biblical commands, by faith, to give glory to God. Often as we worship by faith God rewards us with
His presence and joy.

"I will bless the LORD at all times.
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, come magnify the LORD with me,

simply someone who believes that all of the gifts in the Bible are
still available today.
