Excellent response. These techniques are pretty obvious in the penecostal, slain in the spirit scenarios. I have seen people go down just by being pointed at. Then I’ve seen people who won’t go down at all when they are nearly forced by the Pastor. Very embarassing.
This is as bad as the “snake pastor” who died from a snake bite.
I purposely do not mention specific denominations as I do not want to create an adversary relationship where people’s minds become closed and discount what I say as attacking them or their faith. I would much sooner they learn the concept and then apply it to where ever they are at and grow individually.
These techniques happen in virtually every denomination as it is more based upon the individual skills of the pastor than the belief system. However some denominations have built their beliefs around the techniques.
Note: Being legalistic in our beliefs does not protect us from being vulnerable. Only our Loving relationship with God protects us.
