I have always been kinda, well, for lack of a better word, wierded out by televagelist speaking in toungues, If you know anything about about altered states knows that they are faking it. But the other cases they seem to be whipped up in some kind of frezy. The preacher may not be feeling it, but their followers are.
It has similarities to Spirit Possesion in Vodou, where people are said to take on the personalites of the spirits being honored at the ceremony, But I would say that a Hougan( High priest) or a Mambo(High priestess) feels the "spirit" more that a televagelist preacher does. It's all very fascinating.
