God has the power to do anything, but I feel that alot of these evangelist are just worried about TV ratings and people sending in money. You have to be very close to God in order to truly do the things these evangelist are doing, i mean you dont just line up and get smacked in the head and your healed. The person being smacked has to have faith and true belief in God.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit will over power someone like that, but I'm sure some people help it. Its not anything to worry about, what does it hurt?

Yes and no. Only the people who fall down know for sure, and some won't tell you. Courtesy and respect count's for alot. If you don't know, I wouldn't talk much about it, if it is the HOLY SPIRIT, talking about it negatively will be held against you(loss of rewards) when you get to HEAVEN.

The courtesy fall is what we called it. When your faith meets the power of the Holy Spirit, you will feel IT wash over you. Sometimes more than others, thus, the courtesy fall was born...for those times when the experience migth not be as acute.

The Holy Spirit doesn't work on command, it works in little moments when we least expect it and are open to it.

I'm not sure. It doesn't say anything like that in the Bible. They could be so caught up in the moment that at the time they feel like they are healed. It's like placebo.
