In as much as some people fake it, there are still true believers that actually speak in tongues

Please explains what speaking in tongues means. Use the bible in your explanation and not what your pastor says or commonly held interpretations. Is someone speaking in tongues coherent and understandable or just incomprehensible blabberings?

maybe the people around you are just beign overly dramatic and you are a realist? have you stopped to think that maybe many people are falling because they know they are expected to?

Galatians 5:22-24 (New International Version) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 1st Corinthain 14:32 (New International Version) The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. I dont fall under any anointing. There is no point. Standing while others are falling looks more to me like 'self-control' than falling for nothing. It probably doesn't do anything more than earning cheap glory for the 'anointed' 'man of God'. I dont see any scriptural justification for it. the link posted by SirJohn earlier makes sense http://www.searchingtogether.org/articles/oconner/slain.htm

falling under the anointing has nothing to do with speaking in tongues, dont get it twisted

people have been known to fall ,cry like babies and even faint at ther mere sight of the late micheal jackson,elvis,beatles etc. it is no more than exploitation of a human neuropsychological phenomena. you can collapse or fall over donkey shit if you believe well enough in it. its all about the power of human beilef. scientist have proven that ill patients who were unknowingly given empty drug capsules have recovered dramatically at times even better than tose taking the real drugs. how do you think fake drugs thrive? yep! people have even consumed fake boozed and felt tipsy afterwards. there was even this incident where a skin doctor saw a boy with a nasty scar on his face and said to himself "hey i can cure this" and out of pity he even treated the boy for free. a week later the boys father came with the boy and askd the doctor "are you a man of god?" "no" the doctor said im a skin specialist and i just helped him cure a common skin affliction. the father then told him that its not a common affliction , it is a birthmark and uncurable. people with the same type of scar came from far and wide when they heard of this wonder healer. never again was the doctor able to cure the same scar because neither his nor the patients belief was absolute. the boy who was made fun of all his life for a scar which he seemed doomed to die with was so euphoric when for the first time someone said he could heal him and totally believed in desperation. such is the power of the human belief. even preachers tell u to believe when they pray for you. pagans and barbarians also have trances, convultions and blackouts under annoyingthings because of their belief for their engagements. i gess u cud say it sud count for something to your god since you had a certain degree of belief in the first place that tricked your mind to make u fall.(im not talking bout the preteding majority here). all kinda stuff can happen to u based on your mind. just like people who eat well loose weight drastically when botherd by an issue in their minds like say debt. yeah i know sounds like i got issues and i may not know wat im talkin bout (maybe im jus tired of damn hypocrites)i do know tho that its not some kinda supernatural force outside our bodies that causes it otherwise micheal jackson and a truck load of rockstars definately posess more divine power than any preacher i know.
