⚠️ Why a Christian Should Not Do Fire Tunnels

🔥 What is a Fire Tunnel?

• A line (or “tunnel”) of people forms, usually with church members, leaders, or “anointed” individuals standing opposite each other.

• A person walks down the middle while the people on both sides lay hands, pray, or “release fire” over them.

• The goal is said to be impartation of spiritual gifts, fresh fire, anointing, or supernatural empowerment.

• Participants often report manifestations such as shaking, laughing, falling, or feeling “heat” or “power.”

1. Unbiblical Impartation Practices

   • Nowhere in Scripture do we see a “fire tunnel.” The apostles did lay hands for prayer and commissioning (Acts 6:6, 1 Timothy 4:14), but there is no mass-transfer ritual for fire or anointing.

   • True anointing comes from God through the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27), not through a ritual.

2. Occult Parallels

   • Fire tunnels strongly resemble shamanic initiation rituals, where groups channel energy into a participant.

   • The language of “imparting fire” mirrors kundalini awakening practices in Hinduism, where energy is passed through touch and produces physical manifestations.

3. False Spirit Manifestations

   • Many people report bizarre manifestations: uncontrollable laughter, animal sounds, violent shaking, trance states.

   • These are not fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) but align more with kundalini and demonic manifestations.

4. Danger of Transference of Spirits

   • When hands are laid on someone outside God’s direction, there is the risk of demonic transfer (1 Timothy 5:22 – “Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands”).

   • In a fire tunnel, you don’t know the spiritual state of the people “imparting fire”—this can expose you to unclean spirits.

5. Focus on Experience over Scripture

   • Fire tunnels promote seeking manifestations rather than Christ Himself.

   • The Bible warns against chasing signs and wonders instead of the truth of God’s Word (Matthew 12:39, 2 Thessalonians 2:9–10).

📖 Biblical Truth

• The fire of God in Scripture is for purification and judgment, not for ecstatic experiences (Malachi 3:2–3; Hebrews 12:29).

• The Holy Spirit is given at salvation (Ephesians 1:13–14), and empowerment for ministry comes through prayer, obedience, and God’s sovereign will—not rituals.

✅ In summary:

Fire tunnels are an unbiblical, spiritually dangerous practice that mimic occult initiation rites and open the door to false spirits and demonic impartations. Christians should avoid them and instead pursue the true fire of God—holiness, purity, and the empowering of the Holy Spirit through prayer and obedience.
