Do you suppose that M said what you quoted? In any case, "in spirit" in John 4:24 might at least imply that when an individual worships they ought to be conscious of what they intend by it rather than merely go through the motions a physical act. It is possible to kneel without submitting and to submit without kneeling. To intentionally submit and kneel simultaneously is to worship in spirit and truth.
