ITA with the above. As we change more and more into the image of our heavenly father,we don't even have the same desires like being in a traditional club type environment. Our minds have been renewed etc. I do however like different forms of music one being jazz. When we had our church Christmas fellowship, we had a variety of music and those that wanted to danced. No one danced in a provactive way. No one danced with other ppl's spouses. We had good , clean, fun/ fellowship. There are 'clubs' that play Christian music or other music that is not inappropriate, have good food, and an atmosphere conducive to positive things. You do have to guard your heart, ears, mind, etc. Anything that you decipher by the Spirit as not being of God- leave it alone. Always ask God for his guidance. He will never steer you wrong. Being a Christian does not mean you become a dour faced bible thumpin' weirdo. If in doubt, just leave it alone.
PRAISE GOD! SHE SAID THAT AT 16! SHE IS ONE SMART YOUNG LADY!
As I got rededicated to Christ , I knew the club scene wasnt for me and its not a type of environment a christian should be in so I stopped it all together and honestly had no desires to go. Now that Im 22 its like the urge is there because I feel like Im missing out and in my heart of hearts I know Im really not but its the flesh in me thats like "GO TRY OUT THE 21 AND OVER CLUBS, YOU NEVER TRIED THOSE BEFORE" its been on my mind alot more often. 
Im going to print this thread out to remind me why, I shouldnt give in to the temptation . Thanks again!
I had to come back to say ITA to your post... mainly because of the personal accountability that comes from that 'ah-ha moment' through the Holy Spirit. Good point... A person could hear the Word over and over and not get 'it' until they 'hear it' for themselves, and that comes through spiritual hearing. Guarding the heart - keeping guard of the Gates - is work that requires determination. Again, everyone's growth is different because everyone has a different weakness.
I recall my pastor mentioned some 'revelry' verses, and I'll post some. Like Prudent1 so deftly put it, who is getting the Glory is key and there are ways to fellowship that's just as fun. I don't have to be so puffed up or so stiff that I can't enjoy the Lord with music that glorifies Him. Satan didn't create Music...
Romans 13:13
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Luke 21:34
"Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
Galatians 5:21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
He does not have any original ideas. Not one. Music was created to glorify God. Large parties often referred to by God as feasts, were created by God to allow pleasant fellowship among believers and as a dress rehersal for the awesome events we will attend in the here-after. The list of fakes Satan has copied from God goes on and on, sex, thought patterns, relationships, etc.
We as believers can not continue to fall for the 'okie doke'.
Thank you ladies. I felt I needed to start this thread because I knew you guys would give me words of wisdom, I really do appreciate it. I dont club anymore havent been to a club for almost 3 years now! Got saved 4 years ago, and I was 18 at the time my friends wanted to go to the club and at that time yes I was saved but I didnt see anything wrong with going to the club because I wasnt doing anything wrong.
and do understand what you mean here ....yet, know this:
