It kind of looked like sign language but it wasn't. I've never seen anything like it.

Have you ever seen this type of behavior during church? Just wondering, cause I've never seen it before.

Does the Holy Spirit cause people to fall backwards or to make gestures like this?

The Holy Spirit can and does move people to do and say strange things at times.
I’ve been to a lot of different Churches and have seen a lot of different things.

Are they all for real?
No.
Do I know which are real and which are not?
Not all the time.
If I focus too much on what is and what isn’t real, does that take my focus off of God?
Yes.

When I go to a different Church I’ve never been to before, I try not to pay attention to what the others are doing too much. I’ve fallen back before myself. I’ve felt the presence of God. I’ve seen the presence of God one time as well. That was a special occasion.

Sometimes satan will sneak in and have someone (often unknowingly) do some crazy stuff just to get people to take their focus off of God.

If you’re not sure about some of it, just put it on the shelf for now. You can keep an eye on it, but keep the other eye on God. Never take your focus off of God. Never pay too much attention to what others are doing. You can pay attention, just not too much attention. God can do some amazing things that might seem a little crazy at times, but hey… He’s God. He can do what He wants.
