Can you show me a verse in the Bible that supports "Slaying in the Spirit"?

Yes the power of God can fall on people in many ways. In John 18 it talks of when they came to arrest Christ ((when Judas betrayed him with a kiss)..Read vs. 4 to 6. In vs 6 it says as soon as Jesus said "I am he" they went backward, and fell to the ground. They were bowled over by the power of his presence. Of course these people were not believers but the power of the Holy Spirit can 'rest' or 'fall' on Christians in a numnber of ways. But one should not look for, or concentrate, on these things for the real purpose of God for all Christians is for them to grow up (together)to become more like Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and in so doing become effective witnesses to the world. The "gifts of the Spirit" (carefully read 1 Corintians 12, 13, and 14) and their operation in the church under God's guidance are much more important to God than being sometimes "slain in the Spirit" (as their is no real doctrine for this.) Hope this helps. Peace.

Jesus actually said:\nMatthew 12:30-32\n30 Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters.\n31 Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.\n32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.\n\nSo Blasphemy is not the unforgivable sin, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.\nBlasphemy of the Holy Spirit is:\n1) Seeing the Works of God, and attributing them to Satan.\n2) Constantly refusing to allow God access to your heart and life (refusing to admit your constant need for God's grace and mercy, freely provided through Jesus Christ).\n\nIf you are still worried about whether or not you have committed the unforgivable sin - You haven't yet! It's when you no longer care whether you have or not!

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.   5   I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.\n\nJohn 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;   17   Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.\n\nActs 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

ok \nRomans12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ok first of all....LMAO at The Wanderer.\nNow that that's out of the way....The Bible doesn't speak directly about suicide. It kinda lingers on the Sixth Commandment of Thou shalt not murder. But it doesn't say suicide is unforgivable either, The only sins unforgivable to God are rejecting Christ and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. But it's a complex issue not to be taken lightly

Dude, if you would have read two verses earlier, you would have answered your own question:\n\n 18"As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was not good among his people, behold, he will die for his iniquity. \n\n 19"Yet you say, 'Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity?' When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has observed all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live. \n\n 20"The person who sins will die The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

Leviticus 19:28\nYe shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.\n\nThat's good enough for me.

You have been admonished.\n\nEze 3:17  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. \nEze 3:18  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. \nEze 3:19  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Matthew 10:23\n23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.\n\nMatthew 11:23\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. \n\nMatthew 19:28; \nAnd Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n\nMatthew 21:43, 44; 24; 25:31-46; 26:17-35, 46, 64; \nGoodluck ^_^

1 Corinthians 12:7-11\nBut the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.  But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.\n\nYes.  I most definitely believe them.  I have witnessed them.  I have the gift of speaking in tongues.  And you can have more than one by the way.  I wish you the best on your path to God.  I will  be praying for you.  Merry Christmas. :)

hold up, isnt it the 5th commandment (i can never remember the order) that says "Thou shalt not kill"? so no the bible doesnt teach christians that they should fight holy wars and kill people who attack christianity, hell Jesus himself healed the bloke who had his ear chopped off when he came to arrest jesus (if ur a believer).\nbut im all for good entertainment so tell me what channel itl be on :)

The Bible doesn't tell us to worship the Holy Spirit, although perhaps some folks misunderstand the meaning of John 4:23-24, where Jesus is quoted as saying:\n\n23 "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” \n\nPeace.

A few of the above suggestions are excellent!\nHowever, my favorite passage by far to comfort believers who have lost a loved one is this:\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:13-18\n13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. \n14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.\n15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. \n16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. \n17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. \n18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.\n\n= \nI like it all the more, as even the last verse in this scripture exhorts us to use those very words for the purpose you are asking!\n\nBut I also love the John 11:25, Romans 8, and Revelation 21 verses given by other people who have answered.\n\nMay God be with you as you comfort others with your words, even with His words.
