The experience being called "drunk in the spirit" is not found in the NT, therefore it becomes necessary for those who claim that it is a move of God, to explain why they are willing to accept something, that the NT does not define as being from God. The mark of a true Christian has always been to believe that the NT is the final word from God and a sure way to know what is of God and what is not of God. If drunk in the spirit cannot be found in the NT, or has to be pretended to be found by dishonest manipulation, then the only obvious answer is that it is demonic spirits. There have been mighty angels that fell away to Satan that can be extremely attractive. Look at the angel that showed John the Revelation(a good angel) John fell down at his feet to worship him. Those who did all the idol worshipping were having experiences with attractive spirit beings. Pentecostalism was founded on uneducated people yielding themselves to spiritual powers. It is very dangerous to yield yourself to any spirit that does not fit the examples given in the NT.
1 Samuel
Chapter 19
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

A Pentecostal practice is to manipulate the bible in order to make it appear that what they are doing is correct. Is 1 Samuel 19 suppose to be a justification for drunk in the spirit? Saul went to Naioth in order to murder David, he was on a mission of murder with murder in his heart, this was a way that God used to stop a murderer. So if you want to get drunk in the spirit then plan a murder and along the way you will encounter God who will make you drunk in the spirit, OK.

First, that was the OT not the church. Second, everybody that Saul sent to arrest David prophesied. Nobody was drunk in the spirit they prophesied. This did not happened to nice church folks at a church meeting, it happened to men who were trying to murder David, it was obviously a way that God used to protect David.
