	What does it mean to be slain in the Spirit?
		The term "slain in the Spirit" is used in the Charismatic circles of Christian Churches to designate a supposed movement of the Holy Spirit upon a person.
		The claim is that the Holy Spirit moves with such power on a person, that the person is "slain." This does not mean the person dies, but that he/she is so overcome by the presence of the Spirit that he/she falls down to the ground being completely overcome.
		When someone is slain in the Spirit, he or she is usually touched on the forehead by a pastor or teacher or evangelist, etc. This touch alone seems to be the compelling means by which a person receives this movement of the Spirit.

		We find the term “slain in the Spirit” in the first chapter of the Book of Revelation, where the Apostle John is “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day” and, after the presence of Jesus overtakes him, John “falls as if slain”.
		A genuine falling under God’s Spirit that reflects a true redemptive work of God, or revolutionizes the life of a believer in such a way as the church is blessed and encouraged, as with John in Revelation chapter one, is another matter.
