I was surprised because I thought I was speaking in the Spirit, just not loudly. I didn't think a lot about it. But, I've since seen the term exercise your spirit isn't in the Bible. Exercise yourself unto godliness is. It's made me think that he was looking for loudness vs genuine spirituality. That's sad.

Many times when praying with the brothers, especially in my later years, i purposely attempted to pray from my heart, rather than the usual 6.7.6.7 rhyme with accompanying litany of "Amens."
Now which do you think was considered by them to be a "better" prayer?
