i gave you two examples of being slain in the spirit. One in recognition of GOD and worship of the Great I AM. This happens throughout the Bible and when people are in prayer, which is normally done in private not in the middle of a church or gathering.
You probably like to ignore the scriptures I have given and place words in my mouth. I did not say it is all demonic but often it is. Especially when the source of people's worship is themselves, their problems or their charismatic preacher and his glory and not God's. I have not seen anywhere in the Bible that supports the practice of the preacher slaying others in the spirit, but it is often found in the occult.
Do you know what it means to truly love another and warn them even when God has told you they will spit in your face and probably turn and rip you into shreds for it and still tell them and love them anyways?
gotta love this one...." Don't be so quick to judge your brother at the drop of a hat. If none of this is true about you then encourage yourself in the Lord."
lets you say "i'm not judging you, why you getting all offended"
then you get some pseudoscientific explanation justifying why being slain in the spirit should not alarm you.
mmm...
how about we read what the Bible says about it....
1 Corinthians 14
33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
searching scriptures about falling backwards....
hmmm found this one interesting...
Genesis 49:17
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the horse’s heels So that its rider shall fall backward.
Isaiah 28:13
But the word of the LORD was to them, “ Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little,” That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.
nope can't find any where that is a good thing....anyone find any Bible verses supporting being "slain in the spirit" as a church practice?
by the way I do not consider Benny Hinn or his Word of Faith friends to be Christian brethren but wolves scalping the sheep. I would not break bread with them and would remind everyone of Paul's warnings concerning such people.
2 Peter 2
18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped[d] from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
You can mark them by their love of money and lusts of this world. they promise freedom but at a price but they offer nothing but lies and deceptions.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
when does God command that you give in to your emotions? when does God tell you to stop thinking and discerning truth from lies and just "feel"?
