Well Sons to Glory! if you're out to lunch, then I'm out to lunch, dinner and a midnight snack to boot Yes, I do remember you posting a really good answer to this question. I think it's on another thread.

Thanks Trapped for bailing us out once again with your sensible post! I guess what my biggest problem with the "calling on the Lord" that is practiced in the Local Church is the "corporate" aspect. One clue that this kind of corporate practice is not scriptural and not of the Lord is the reaction that other genuine Christians have when hearing/experiencing this practice for the first time. In my observation and experience the overwhelming number of brothers and sisters have a negative reaction. The reactions go from "this is kind of weird and uncomfortable" all the way to "this sounds like a kind of Eastern chanting and I want out of here now!" and of course just about everything in between.
