There is no record in the Bible of people going into convulsion after they have received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the power that enable Christians to live holy lives pleasing to the Lord and the Holy Spirit gave them power to speak in tongues - in other languages so that they were able to preach to everyone regardless of their language - (not gibberish language that we often see/hear in today modern churches) and to perform wonderful miracles.
Convulsions on the other hand after receiving the Holy Spirit would mean that is was not the Holy Spirit that possessed the person but the "other" spirit - usually not heavenly.

I call it a Holy Ghost fit. No high offered by the world compares to being filled with Holy Ghost. You can have the Holy Ghost too, if you obey Acts 2:38

The "Holy Ghost" or "Holy Spirit" is a creation of men. The idea of such an entity is absurd. You people who swear to have experienced this made-up being are brainwashed and delusional.

No gods, demons, devils, spirits, or "Holy Ghosts". You didn't receive the Holy Ghost, you had a seizure. Seriously. You should get some medical attention as quickly as possible. Prayers, statistically, are answered .01% of the time. If you have a medical condition and pray to God to fix it, there's a 99.99% chance he won't answer it, and your condition will worsen.

I think they call this "slain in the Spirit" and yes all you Catholic haters---this happens too in the Church. The people sometimes speak in tongues too (not at Mass but in prayer)

No, are you being serious? It just felt like a sweet, very warm embrace. Convulsors are fakin' it.

You should see a doctor immediately if you had a seizure. It was not god, there is something wrong with you. Don't be so stupid, get help.
