As for the scripture you quoted where they couldnt stand, stand in greek and hebrew simply means continue which would fit that context.

It happens most of the time in the Bible when an angel appears to someone - they fall out of fear, then the angel touches them and helps them back up and tells them to "fear not". Then if you look at the verse where the Pharisees fell backwards when Jesus told them "I am [he]" - they fell backwards out of shock. I Am was one of the sacred names of God (from when God told Moses his name was I am the I am). The people weren't even supposed to use the name out loud apparently, and Jesus was telling the elders of the church He was God. Anyway I grew up in a church that practiced it and after I finally picked up my Bible and read it, there doesn't seem to me to be any support for it in the scriptures. Every instance I can think of, the person was falling to the ground out of fear or shock. There's also other things people preach from the pulpit as Biblical fact such as Peter being crucified upside down, which isn't even in the Bible, to point out another example.

The Holy Spirit has shown me some things about my sinful life and the effects it has had on my children. He showed me the reason my children were not serving the Lord was because of me. since giving my life back to Jesus my Lord, repenting of my sins, asking the Holy Spirit to show me what He wanted to change in my life, and change it as soon as it was revealed to me. My youngest son is now starting to read the Bible I had gotten for him 15 years ago. I was asking the Holy Spirit about all the different Bibles, which one should I read and He showed me in 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is came in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist,... "that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh" is omitted from all translations except the King James Version. The new king james says in the notes to omit this verse. Being as how the bible is the word of God, His Spirit talking to us, Jesus dying on the cross for us, therefore, then, would you not say the bible is the spirit of God? Why then is the antichrist being taught through the other translations of the bible? Are our eyes blind that we cannot see? Are our ears deaf that we cannot hear? (oh, and btw, you won't find "Jehovah" in the nkjv) So with that said I have been looking foe a church that only preaches from the King James Version and they are very few that teach from the kjv. As God said in his Holy Bible, 1 Cor 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: The kjv is despised, I believe this is the only version to seek God's face, seek the blood of Jesus that walked in the flesh on earth, seek the comfort and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Excellent article. I was slain in the spirit by a Lutheran pastor but wasn't sure what had happened or what it was called. We were sitting at the time but I know if I had been standing I would have fallen, it was very powerful. Since then I have had improved eye site that even my optometrist was surprised by. My pastor was very happy for me and of course we give all praise and glory to GOD. Thank you and God Bless you for this article. Thank you. Excellent article.

Although, one time I went forward to experience this at a former church and I totally faked it because everyone was watching me(I was a baby christian then). When I was saved I had a supernatural experience of something literally being lifted from my body. Also when I am standing and praying sometimes I feel the Holy Spirit come on so strong I have to steady myself against toppling over. It never occured to me not to resist untill right now....hmmmmm.
