Re: Is being slain in the Spirit Biblical?
sure here is an example
John 18:5-10
King James Version (KJV)
5They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
7Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
9That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
is it happening at Hinn's services and other charlatains who would like to set up their own worship to themselves instead of God or Jesus?
no not at all. that stuff is demonic.
as in this type of spirit...
Matthew 17
14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
so if you would like to get yourself a demon go to your nearest "slain in the spirit" distrubrution center and for a small fee I'm sure they will oblige.
However I do believe people have been praying and been taken out of their body to speak with God but it is not something men can control but something God does as He wills.Most of the time it is called visions and dreams in the Bible. (whether this still occurs today people like to debate, but that is another topic) I also believe Satan would love to give people delusions and claim to be God and have them worship and obey him if they are not discerning.
Question: did Satan take Jesus physically to the top of the mountain and show Him all the kingdoms of the world or was that a spiritual journey?
Personally I like being concious and able to remember what happens to me and prefer God communicate with me while I am in my own body.
