SLAYING IN THE SPIRIT--THE TELLING WONDER

July 28, 1996 (Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) - We want to inform our readers of a book entitled THE TORONTO BLESSING AND SLAYING IN THE SPIRIT THE TELLING WONDER by Nader Mikhaiel of Australia. This book was first published in 1992, and an enlarged third edition was completed this year, containing more than 400 pages of information.

Since the beginning of the Pentecostal Movement, many groups have claimed a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. These "outpourings" have been accompanied by extraordinary manifestations: shaking, jerking, jumping, and speaking in tongues. The most common of these manifestations is what is called Slaying in the Spirit, and recently, uncontrollable laughter which has become known as the Toronto Blessing. This book examines the Pentecostal, Charismatic and subsequent movements in the light of these manifestations.

Mikhaiel effectively compares "spirit slaying" with the phenomenon of hypnosis.
