"Slain in the Spirit" is not taught in the Bible and is inconsistent with the Spirit's fruit of self-control

Mike distinguishes two senses of "biblical": explicitly taught vs. not explicitly forbidden. Being slain in the Spirit is not forbidden but also not taught. The example people use (guards falling backward when Jesus declares himself in Gethsemane, John 18:6) is not a Spirit-filling event — it is a display of Christ's authority over enemies. Paul never mentions slain in the Spirit in his extensive letters on charismatic gifts to the Corinthians. Additionally the theological problem: the fruit of the Spirit is self-control (Galatians 5:23). The charismatic teaching Mike encountered at Anaheim Vineyard in his youth equated Spirit-filling with losing control — shaking, falling, tongues with no interpretation. This inverts the biblical model.
