Here's the question. What do you think of the pentacostal movement of being "slain in the spirt"? Is it from God? Is it biblical? I honestly don't know what to think and would love to here from both sides.

According to the Jewish Scriptures; when someone is "slain", they fall face forward...not backwards. Also, "catchers"? If it's sincerely G-d...nobody will get hurt.
My honest opinion? I believe people are not accustomed to experiencing the manifest Presence of G-d, & when they encounter someone with a deeper relationship with G-d than they themself possess, they may experience "something". However, I have asked G-d that if this is legitimately of Him, then to please follow the principle established in His Word & cause me to go face forward. As of yet, not even Benny Hinn who prayed over me has caused me to be slain. I don't say that as any type of challenge, but to show that I'm open.

The anti-christians think they are a final authority on the bible.
Like any other things christians do, it isn't something to be decided by PC,anti-christians,atheists and agnostics,or any other group that doesn't understand or like what is being done.
If someone wants to know if something is biblical about the Holy Spirit,or is done by christians,they need to make a true conversion (accept Jesus).

Catholics in the Charismatic movement also believe in this. It is weird to me but, I don't have the gift of tongues either (which incidentally doesn't mean anything) so I just can't make a decision on it

It is my opinion that "slain in the spirit" means that you were alive in sin and you gave your soul to God and were reborn. In order to be reborn part of you had to die. The sinful part.

Just as with "speaking in tongues" ... it is a learned behavior and is not from God.
