I would like you guys to give your opinion on this. Can this be the work of the holy spirit?

How can it be from the Holy Spirit when one of the fruits of the Spirit is self control (Galatians 5:22-23).Can this be the work of the holy spirit?
Who are you replying to? It helps if you quote.Nope! That's Satanic.
It helps if you keep in mind that people generally respond to the OP.Who are you replying to? It helps if you quote.
Not the first time some folks mocked or said these type of manifestations was/is demonic:
"And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine." Acts 2:12-13
Even when Yeshua cast out demons, some said it was the enemy's work (Matt 12:24).
Know a believer who was 100% sure it was demonic and when it happened to him, he went through a lot. Is that the case because http://www.christianforums.com/threads/drunk-in-the-spirit.7751196/ Remember reading some of the responses and many agreed with post #1. Or is it the numbers? Because that thread yielded a number of responses. Or is just time to ridicule other believers' services?
kundalini? For there to be the false, there also has to be the real.
Nope! That's Satanic.
posted: "Now I do not think anyone can argue that this looks ridiculous." "Why would the holy spirit create manifestations such as this?"
Yes, it does look ridiculous - totally agree. Isaiah walked around naked for 3 years (Isa 20:3); Hosea married a prostitute (Hos 1:2); Elijah and Baal's group conflict recorded in I Kings 18. These accounts as well as dozens others sound ridiculous as well.
Many non-believers think that no matter which denomination we are, we're all absurd because we believe the gospel message.
So don't see how we can use "it looks ridiculous" as our measuring sticks. Even if I don't understand it, know that everything Yahweh does has a purpose.
I'm going 100% by personal experience on the matter.I don't know that we should assume the work of the devil. Humans behaving strangely is a pretty good explanation.
Either way, it's certainly not the Holy Spirit.

According to my personal experience, it is not ALWAYS Satanic. Not even close. I'd say it's flesh most of the time, the Holy Spirit some of the time, and Satan rarely, but again that is my experience.....I'm going 100% by personal experience on the matter.
Who controls flesh? I mean lets take for instance the man and the woman who just suddenly slid of their chair. They had no control over that happening, i'm sure. If you ask them they would tell you that they didn't decide to do that. That's more than flesh. There is a power that is guiding this and it is either the Holy Spirit or a false spirit.According to my personal experience, it is not ALWAYS Satanic. Not even close.

People allow flesh to take over. I'm sure we've all done that in one way or another... The couple sliding off their chairs - I don't know whether they had control over it or not. The power of hype can cause people to do something like that, and in this case I cannot tell whether that couple is letting flesh take over or the Holy Spirit. However, I don't think it was Satanic.. I know Rodney Howard Browne, and the anointing coming from him is not false. I know many will disagree with me on that, but I will stick with what I know.Who controls flesh?
