Why Do Pentecostal Christians Shake Their Heads Vigorously While Praying? by Zikdik(m): 12:12pm On Nov 11, 2012
Most Pentecostal Christians have formed an habit of shaking their heads and other body parts vigorously while saying their prayers.
Is this act compulsory if the prayers are to be answered?Or,is it a sign that the "Christians-in-question" pray better and more effectively than others?

...because they are being religious. I don't understand when 'some' Christians turned themselves to lizard shaking their head nonstop. That isn't a requirement or assurance to answered prayers.

Is that not the whole concept of speaking in tongues? They claim they're not in control of themselves at the time but the Holy Spirit is. I wonder why any Holy Spirit will make a person convulse uncontrollably all in the name of prayers. But hey what do i know. Matters of the spirit i guess...hmmm

^^^ And try to tell them that one of the fruit of the same Spirit they claim is making them shake their head in prayer is self-control (Galatians 5:22-23); they will rather listen to their MOG rather than listen to the word of God.

@Zikdik

Well that's the headbanging syndrome,

only that this particular flavor or version,

instead of dancing and violently shaking the head in time with music, which most commonly can be rock music or heavy metal

it is the violently shaking or nodding the head in tune with the intensity or degree of concentration of the praying which is done.

It is not an act compulsory, if the prayers are to be answered.

Someone, somewhere originally prayed that way and innocently started it.

Since the time of copying the originator of this style of praying,

it's now turned into a sheeple "following and copying the herd" stampede common way of praying in "plentyrascals" functions or with Christians.

maybe because some feel at ease or reassured of an answered request when praying this way

They shake their head vigorously while praying because they are doing the prayers with all their might and strenght.

What is your business fool,idiot,why can't you people mind your business and leave christians or pentecostal churches alone,when muslims lick the floor and scrape their forehead everyday do we ask why

Get a life and mind your business,if you can't pray like that then keep your mouth shut while others pray however they choose.

As a result of transformation from human form to spiritual realm. @OP have you being baptised in the holy-ghost? Once you are baptised, alot happens during prayer.

Some of them do it cos the pastor told them to do so. I have witnessed a church where the pastor ran out of prayer points and told the congregation not to relent in their passion. He just started shouting "oya oya, begin to shake, begin to shake, don't relent in your passion, begin to shake"

since i biliv d OP: zidik, is a muslim, then the answer u seek lies in the same reasons all muslims knock their head on the floor in form on bowin. No wonder they loose their senses and become realistic brain-shaken terrorists.
