Pharoah's magicians can only perform so far...their rods were eaten up by Aaron's. (Ex 7)
You may say, the safeguard is to ignore all signs & wonders. I believe the safeguard is to know the Lord yourself so well that you know what is of Him and what is not. Some manifestations seems similar when people got slain in the Spirit. One can be of God when there's a change in that person's life from then on...eg committing oneself to the Lord's work when b4 the person is very self-oriented. Another can be just having a good time 'resting' but no significant change of character in his/her life. Only that person and God knows what really happened. The minister cannot know what's the motives in the hearts of the people who responded to the altar call. To judge all ministers whose ministries are attested by healings and manifestations of the move of the Holy Spirit, as manipulative is unfair just as judging all pastors are just "hiredhands" out to fleece the sheep. In the end, it's the enemy's ploys (extremism on both sides of any truths) that got the attention of the Church rather than the truths taught and demonstrated by the Life and Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is never ashamed of doing what the Father tells Him to do.
