There is a difference between slain in the spirit and falling out for attention. When you fall out under God's power, it's not forced. God's power touches you unexpectedly and you have no choice but to submit under his anointing. Falling out for attention feels forced; you're trying too hard to be seen by the congregation, and unless the congregation has discernment, they may not be able to differentiate between slain in the spirit and attention-seeking. We've all been to churches where God is moving and when the pastor does altar call for prayer & healing, the crowd makes their way to the altar. It's at that moment where some people genuinely feel God's power and they have no choice but to fall out under God's power. Then there are those who fall out for attention-seeking purposes. Don't lie, you guys know what I'm talking about if you're in tune with church affairs. I don't want to be judgmental because God moves on people as he wills. One person could speak in tongues, another person could fall out under God's power; you never know. All I'm saying is when you're slain in the spirit, it comes natural. Just because the pastor gives you a tap on the forehead, doesn't mean you have to fall out. Too many people fall out in emotions thinking it's the Holy Spirit. When a believer has reached a certain maturity level, nothing knocks them out but God. Otherwise, some folks are just fronting to be seen.
