Isn't it wonderful! When someone is touched by God they can react in a number of ways and no two people react the same. Some cry, some laugh, some embrace Him and love Him, some are floored by the manifest presence.
Have you ever seen this type of behavior during church? Just wondering, cause I've never seen it before.
Yes
Does the Holy Spirit cause people to fall backwards or to make gestures like this?

Yes
These things are quite the norm around here. Sure you can generally find a few flakes anywhere you go but if a Church is on fire for God you will see it demonstrated in many ways. The abandonment of self during worship, a powerful life changing Word as breathed on by the Spirit and a genuine love for the lost souls in their area.
When I worship God I look up to the heavens and pour my heart out- I am not really interested in what others think of my worship and truthfully I generally do not even notice them. I am there for one thing- to press in and touch the heart of my Lord and to be touched by Him.
