The closest thing in the New Testament I've seen to being "slain in the spirit" is when people were demon possessed.

Well if there are examples of it specifically and not falling down before Gods power it doesn't but you also don't see satan doing the same either
So we could assume it was an evil spirit that made my body move and fall down or we could say I was yeilding to the holy spirit but it happened if there are no exwmples or teaching of it then how do we explain it? the devil doesn't have a new bag of tricks he always uses the same tactics but who are we to say if maybe God uses a new bag of blessings? look at the fruit of what happened the issue isn't that it happened the issue is by whom did it happen but you can assume it was from God or you can assume it was from the devil but if there is no evidence in scripture then it might get one thinking maybe God is doing something with this last generation
yes but they were also acting like wild animals I wasn't and there was life in it so it seems obvious to me who I let in
then be at peace with the answer in front you look at the fruits and stop trying to use logic no matter how you look at it it wasn't demon possesion
besides we are not to lean on our understanding and if isn't demon posession then what do you think it is or do you just assum it is something else? and regardless if you can find it in scripture the issue is not that the issue is it is just being assumed because it is hard to explain
I've seen plenty of examples of demon possession in the scriptures.
Well, all we have is your word that what your experienced had life in it. If you believe you were slain in the spirit I'm certainly not foolish enough to try and talk you out of it. As for me, I don't know what you experienced.
IOW its a babel building.
You can go thru the list:
1. Disorderly conduct
2. Woman pastor
3. "revival" in the name, which nowadays means come here foam at the mouth etc.
4. Loss of control, while the true Holy Spirit is the spirit OF self-control.
It cannot be explained with the Scriptures and these circus halls are the epitomy of everything wrong with modern churchianity. Kill it with fire.
The people in the bible fall down flat on their face as if dead when in the presence of our Holy God...Just a thought...
It's days are numbered
And a reed like a rod was given to me saying "Arise and measure the temple of GOD, the altar, and the ones worshiping in it. And cast outside the court outside of the temple. And you may not measure her because she is given to the nations. And they will tread the holy city forty-two months." Revelation 11:1-2

There are several scriptures of people falling down before God moses did Daniel did even John fell and that was just an angel not even God so being slain in the spirit is in the bible
Blain --Blain and Blain ----------------
if your going to say that these people fell down to the ground and so there is evidence of being Slain in the Spirit
then Quote the Scriptures to back up your Claim ans make sure you post the Context of the scripture ---not just that Moses fell down -----post the context in which Moses fell down to the ground ----
and you will see it was in front of God and he was BOWING DOWN to Worship God ---not loose control of himself ------
Post the Scriptures your talking about in Context ----so we can see what they say rightly
Do you know what the Greek and Hebrew word for slain is and what it means ---I don't think you do
Hebrew
Strong's Lexicon
chalal: Slain, pierced, wounded, dead
2348 (thnesko): To die, be dead.
Usage: The Hebrew word "chalal" primarily refers to someone who has been slain or killed, often in the context of battle or violence. It can also imply being wounded or pierced. The term is used to describe those who have fallen in combat or have been struck down by violence.
Greek
Strong's #4969: sphazo (pronounced sfad'-zo)
a primary verb; to butcher (especially an animal for food or in sacrifice) or (generally) to slaughter, or (specially), to maim (violently):--kill, slay, wound.

Do you not understand that "slain in the Spirit" is a colloquial expression and not a technical description?
No I am not saying it is evidence of it but it is simlar to how I fell down in the presence of God and there does not seem to be many verses to use to explain what happened to me everyone seems to jump to demon possesion but again there was life in me so unless one just calls me a liar and it was evil that entered me how does one explain what happened to me then? lets for a minute just say it was from God what was it exactly?
Blain based on what you said that is "slain in the spirit" and no those words like Rapture are not in the bible. John.. as soon as He said I am He they fell backwards to the ground. They drew back and fell to the ground. Depends on what original text, translator said. yeah odd this is not being talked about. How it was originally written is not the same by many Scholars. This thread is a great example of why I can never just be me. People say things like deception and its of Satan and oh you just say word of faith.. never makes you mad just hurts.. Read last week by Christians "they are scum of the earth".. me.. . The words He spoke conveyed such power of His deity they His enemies "fell to the ground". So that poor young girl being some how deceived by the enemy? Not sure how in this case but.. about 12 all praying.. in one accord to GOD in this school one night and the leader happen to open his eyes noticed one girl just fall backwards. So runs over asks if she's ok. She said.. I looked at the doors and Jesus just walked in and that's all she remembered.
Seems when God shows up.. I guess you can only fall forwards? Yeah silly. Its not about the falling..its not about you or me its always about Him. What do you care if they fall or not? They don't answer to you or me. Hagin is was not deceived.. I really don't have to say anything the man is in heaven and look how believers still talk about faith preachers. Not telling us "if I get it wrong tell me I will repent and get it right". Its on youtube. Or how he never after 60 years in the Ministery never asked for money when he went to another Church to preach. Be believed he was there to serve them. He never talked about one other preacher like they do him. See I don't care about what doctrine some preacher got wrong.. I want to know do they believe Christ came in the flesh died on the Cross for the worlds in was buried rose the 3rd day is the only way to the Father. As Christ said to one preacher asking Him why He has not judge this man
with fire and brimestone (his words). Christ said "oh but do you know all the good he does for me".
Next time someone talks about about another preacher ask them "what good does he/she do for Christ". What is shocking is .. how many don't care. They want to only focus on the sin and show you how right they are in what they believe. Truth does not hurt that is not written truth sets you free. We have GOD in us.. and since Christ found me.. He has never once shown me the sin someone else is doing unless He wanted me to pray for them. See He knows He can trust me to say nothing evil but will pray for them. man I don't want people to talk about me behind my back when the can call email write come to me. Yeah its no love. Love does not see faults. Every exposed video I have ever seen.. not one asked anyone to be praying for them. Less then a hand full in the comments ask or says just "I will be praying for them"
You find those that know Christ.. they will know you are mine by your love one for another. HAHA as if.. anything I can say will change anyone. GOD does it.. not me saying it. We really need to get over our selfs and when we come together we speak word of life.. we sing YES SING to the lord and speak psalms. We lift up each other.
