Okay guys and gals,
I'm gonna need an explanation. For the first time ever, I watched "This Is Your Day!" with Benny Hinn. I've heard of being "slain in the Spirit," but I thought that it was the same thing as "baptism of the Spirit." Apparently not because Benny just got slain about 4 times on his own show, and people all around him were getting "slain" multiple times. It was kind of uncomfortable to watch because when Benny fell to the ground everyone started circling around him and singing "He is the Lord." I know they were singing about Christ, but it seemed like they were singing a memorial to Benny as though he had just died. Very odd. Any explanations for these things?

Kyle,
I saw the show yesterday also. To tell you the truth, that whole thing confuses me. It is uncomfortable to watch - and yet, he never ceases to give glory to Jesus. I just don't know.

A "Text Book" definition of being Slain in the Spirit would simply be a supernatural touch by God. You could look at it as being hit by a supernatural lightning bolt sent down by God that overloads our circuitry and knocks us out momentarily. It can happen when recieving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but not necessarily. Common places would be Baptism of the Holy Spirit, healings, precursers to visions, etc. A pentacostal way of looking at the Baptism of the Holy Spirit would be the initial charge to a spiritual battery. Like a normal battery, over time and use we loose power and must be recharged.
