I attend a Baptist church, and I know a few people who go there that dancing goes against their faith. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Generally I'm a Baptist although up here they call them nondemoniational fundamental Bible believers, and dancing is frown upon along the lines that it is too pleasing to the flesh. I'm not going to say I agree with that all that much though.I attend a Baptist church, and I know a few people who go there that dancing goes against their faith.

man, all these religions seem to stifle sex like it's a horrible thing.
We believe sex outside of marriage is bad, yes. Especially (IMO) when it concerns irresponsible high schoolers.
If you are dancing in order to grind up against somebody not the purest of intentions

Ephesians teaches us to be Christ like. Christ did not refrain from life but rather lived it to its fullest but without sin. He drank wine and blessed the drinking of it at festivals. He encouraged worship in all of its forms. He did not say because there is sin dont do things that might lead to sin but rather do all things according to the will of God. As the drinking of wine and dancing are both permitted and exalted acts in the Bible (the Word of God) there is most assuredly merit to the action. However one must always keep in mind that Satan's whisper can be strong and a line must be drawn. Where do we learn this standard...well how about from our congregation that teaches us how to dance in an appropriate and pleasing manner at a dance. Or at church functions where we teach those of age the biblical value of taking wine and more importantly the parents within the congregation teach their children how not to be lured into gluttony but rather have the power to overcome adversity of sin!
