Some people claim when they receive the Spirit, it knocks them to the ground. Usually backwards.
Others say they receive an overwhelming peace.
In my parents church(Pentecostal), I've witnessed some odd accounts.
One teen boy said he felt paralyzed.
During heated prayers, a young girl starts screaming in tongues. Or some incomprehensible cluster of noises.
The pastor seems to speak more in tongues, then in his own language. When he leads prayer, within 3 seconds he's speaking in tongues. (There's no translator).
None of these seem scriptural. But I don't want to judge like the Pharisees, in the event I unknowingly blaspheme the Spirit.
