All these forms of worship are in the Bible. You might not like them; you might not find them fitting for a church you choose to attend, but be careful about being too judgmental. Many are delightful in personal worship.
They are in the Bible. Also be very cautious about worship demonstrations that are not in the Bible. I’m not preaching or promoting, just saying.

Huh??? I was taken back by the reference to “Drunkenness” in your list until I read the references. 😁
The key is in one word in the Jeremiah passage: “LIKE.”
“I am LIKE a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord and because of his holy words.”
You are right I should have used a phrase “staggering like a drunken man” perhaps.
Thanksgiving and prayer works for me.
I’m glad you a fulfilled by those. My regrets if I left them out. I went to a church one time; I was so critical in my mind as I was going home the Lord taught me a lesson. It was that he could take care of his own without my suggestions. 😀 So I go by the “find it in the Bible,” then lay off the criticism.
Aww, yes; I did include Thanksgiving and Prayer.
