Here in Corinth, it had engulfed the church. I'm afraid the same thing is happening today. There are no ecstasies, no sensualities, no eroticisms, no going out of yourself ever associated in the New Testament with the true work of the Holy Spirit; never! In fact, in I Corinthians 14:32, Paul says, "The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets." In other words, nobody ever gives up his spirit, nobody ever loses control, nobody ever goes out of himself in terms of that which God has designed. That's why, at the end of chapter 14, Paul's final word on this subject was, "Let all things be done decently and in order." It's not the Holy Spirit's way to have everybody (verse 26) jumping up with their own psalm, doctrine, tongue, revelation, and interpretation, wanting to speak in ecstasy, wanting to have a vision. That's the confusion of paganism that has engulfed the church
