Concerns and Criticisms of Being Slain in the Spirit

There are concerns that both Charismatics and cessationists have about the practice of being slain in the spirit. These concerns include the influence of cultural courtesy, being coerced or manipulated into falling, and contrived experiences. It is important not to ritualize or standardize these experiences, but instead to focus on the sufficiency of scripture and the biblical model for spiritual empowerment.
