But Hypnotism Can Also Be Entertaining...
Sorry if I offend any of his followers, but I believe Benny Hinn's spirituality is right up there with [link removed at request of the hypnotist]. Why don't I believe much in the whole "Slain in the spirit" stuff? Because the Bible says that the one of the fruits of the Spirit is SELF CONTROL. I don't see one ounce of self control in these people. It seems obvious to me that all he does is mass hypnosis before passing the offering plate.
A more authentic display of the Holy Spirit at work is watching two Sunday school children sharing a snack and a hug.
This video clip cracked me up. I actually like this song, and to see the two paired up struck my demented funny bone in a big, bad way. 
Galatians 5:22-23 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." (NIV)
ETA: The hypnotist referenced earlier asked that his link be removed because he didn't like being linked in any way with Benny Hinn, LOL! My point was that his rather entertaining hypnotism shows are no more spiritual than Benny Hinn. But at least he doesn't claim to be spiritual like Benny Hinn. If only all stage hypnotists posing as preachers had ethics like 'Mr. Please-don't-link-me-to-Benny-Hinn'....

Hey, I'm totally into sharing snacks and hugs with a friend... as for the other stuff? "It's just a bunch of crap", so no, you certainly didn't offend me :^)

You are so right. I am tired of the Benny Hinn types that are showing us as "Spirit filled" idiots. I have never been "slain in the spirit", not that it couldn't happen, though. But Hinn and his ilk are rediculous. Could God overwhelm me? Why, sure. But much better to pursue the gifts of Galatians and share the Gospel of our Lord, instead of laying on my hinny! And by the way, no offence here, either
