The supposed being "slain in the Spirit" is not a biblical concept.
2. The biblical instances were few and far between, and they occurred only rarely in the lives of a few people. In the slain in the Spirit phenomenon, falling down is a repeated event and an experience that happens to many.
3. In the biblical instances, the people fall upon their face in awe at either what or whom they see. In the slain in the Spirit counterfeit, they fall backwards, either in response to the wave of the speaker's arm or as a result of a church leader's touch (or push in some cases).
We are not claiming that all examples of being slain in the Spirit are fakes or responses to a touch or push. Many people claim to experience an energy or a force that causes them to fall back. However, we find no biblical basis for this concept. Yes, there may be some energy or force involved, but if so, it is very likely not of God and not the result of the working of the Holy Spirit.

Is being slain in the Spirit biblical?
The Christians who argue against this phenomena really being from the Lord base their arguments on the following reasons:
Every time people fell when the presence of God would manifest, they would always fall on their faces, not fall backward.
Nowhere in the Bible do the prophets, the apostles, or Jesus Himself ever lay hands on someone and then the power of God comes through their hands to knock them backward.
The only time people fell in the presence of God was when God was rendering some type of judgment.
Is Being Slain In The Spirit Coming From God?
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall {{backwards and be broken, and snared and taken}}. Isaiah 28:13
