I do no think you can rightly classify it as a sin. However, Scripture makes clear that as Christians we must be "self controlled and alert" (1 Peter 5:8) rather than being in an altered state of consciousness or "slain in the spirit". Pro Pentecostal sources such as the Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements say "An entire battalion of Scripture proof texts is enlisted to support the legitimacy of the phenomenon, although Scripture plainly offers no support for the phenomenon as something to be expected in the normal Christian life" (p.790).

When someone says that someone is 'slain in the Spirit' is this a Roman Catholic term?

Yes, the term 'slain in the Spirit' IS a Roman Catholic term. So is being in a 'divine state of grace'. Being in a 'divine state of grace' is sort of, some what the SAME term, BUT has a different meaning. If anyone has more information please message me. Merci beaucoup.Roman Catholic AnswerDivine state of grace: Okay, I think what you are talking about here is being in a state of grace. There are many different classifications of grace, none of them called "divine state of grace". Grace is a supernatural gift of God that He freely bestows on us for our eternal salvation. Grace is indispensable to reach salvation, and there is nothing we can do to earn it, we have, of ourselves, no claim on God's grace (outside of His Son, and His Sacrifice). We must, however, cooperate with this grace and we have it entirely within our power to lose it. One mortal sin is enough to totally lose God's grace and condemn oneself to hell. Slain in the spirit is "a phenomenon of pentecostalism and the charismatic movement, where a person is believed to be overcome by the Holy Spirit. The experience is temporary, during which the individual collapses in a faint, although the faculties of thought and volition remain intact. The "slaying" takes place when a charismatic, already possessed by the Spirit, lays his or her hands on the head of another person. It is considered one of the external signs of a special outpouring of divine grace." from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980So, no, slain in the spirit is not a Roman Catholic term and, outside of pentecostalism and the charismatic movement is basically meaningless.
