The document discusses how being filled with the Holy Spirit is similar to being drunk. It notes that at low blood alcohol levels of 0.02%-0.05%, a person experiences altered mood, relaxation, warmth, and exaggerated behavior - qualities that could improve an unfilled church member by lifting their somber mood, relaxing uptightness, inviting cold people, and stopping criticism. Higher levels of 0.08% lead to impaired functions that could encourage church members to break free of fears, self-control, reasoning, memory, balance, speech, vision, hearing, and reactions - allowing them to dance, speak in tongues, and not focus on opposition when filled

1. be filled with the Spirit,
speaking to one another with
psalms, hymns, and songs from
the Spirit.
Sing and make music from
your heart to the Lord, always
giving thanks to God the Father
for everything, in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do not get drunk
on wine, which leads
to debauchery.
Instead,
Ephesians 5:18-20
