You're reasonably intelligent. Listen again and see how often they say one thing, only to reverse it within usually a minute.......

"I'm not saying this couldn't be the Holy spirit."
"This is, in no way, of the Holy Spirit."

"I'm not saying they are possessed."
"This is 100% demonic possession."
"This is self-will coming into play."

These two are just pitiful nobodies wanting to run down other people because they have never experienced God to that level.
 
I believe there will always be excesses but when we try to think with our natural minds what should God do or not do - that's when we are thinking we know what God should do...and if things happen differently then what we believe....they are heretics or whatever derogatory name you come up with.

Sometimes a lot of "manifestations" are just their flesh reacting to the Spirit on them. When we get to heaven..the Holy Spirit will not be jerking and falling down all the time...but here on this earth that is just our flesh coming into contact with the supernatural and something gives....and it will always be our flesh....selah

The bible is full of times when people fell down from contact with the Spirit of God. Is there people that over-react in some situations?..Yes..of course. Are they any worse then those that reject the power of God in manifestation?..no..just different...

I think what is worse then condemning how someone reacted in the flesh to God..is nothing compared to those that "slander" these people in the Body of Christ that our Lord gave His life and shed His blood for.
 
It would appear you are getting your wish.....as you deny His finished work and salvation only through the blood of Jesus....selah.. 1 Cor. 2:14 ..There are many here praying for you!

Ephesians 4:30-32 (NASB)

[SUP]30 [/SUP] Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

[SUP]31 [/SUP] Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

1 Peter 2:1-3 (NASB)

[SUP]1 [/SUP] Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,

[SUP]2 [/SUP] like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,

[SUP]3 [/SUP] if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

It sounds like you dont think the enemy can imitate? He does and it isnt at all like having the spirit fall on you.

1st Thessalonians 5:4-7
King James Version(KJV)

4.) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5.) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6.) Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.

7.) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

I mean when a person In the light has seen what some laughter and things of the sort has led to In the past,they will know to be sober minded and stop, knowing what might happen and not be like the world and just go on until the rug Is pulled out from under them so to speak.

Your statement declares that what you are seeing is demonic, right?

Yet, in the same breath, you are saying what you are seeing is only an imitation of the same thing that the Holy Spirit does.

You sure you really know what you actually wrote? LOL

Seriously. I'm never sure what is or isn't sober in the spirit.
Like is acting goofy, joking, is that not sober in the spirit? Or just even laughing at things? I don't get it. What are ways one is not sober in the spirit? I have a definition of calm and collected, temperate, dispassionate, circumspect.

No it doesn't say being grumpy lol.

1 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NASB)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

[SUP]15 [/SUP] But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.

You sound so spiritual when you post scripture seemingly trying to appear MORE KNOWLEDGED. Give me a serious break dude! I have been under the HS and I was in a church where the whole congregation was under the HS. It was peaceful, joyous and ORDERLY. It wasnt people jumping all over the place, running to and fro and speaking a tongue that isnt God. There is an imitation brought to you by. the prince of lies himself! If you disagree then you are a foolish man

Willie - this is for you brother. All is well!...:)

1 Peter 2:21-23 (NASB)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,

[SUP]22 [/SUP] WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;

[SUP]23 [/SUP] and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
 
I cannot believe the foolish people on this site that would think everything they see is from God. Amazing and truly sad.

1timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,


Matthew 18:7
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

Luke 17:1
Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.

They are so clueless

Woe to you who are satisfied now, because you will be hungry. Woe, you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep. Luke 6:25​
 
Luke 9:54-56 (KJV)
[SUP]54 [/SUP] And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

[SUP]55 [/SUP] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

[SUP]56 [/SUP] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
