First, are we talking about her making bold statements like this in a prayer or the passing out antics?
Offensive? No.
Biblical precedent for "weirdness?" Plenty.
Elijah challenging the priests to call fire from heaven.
This reject Moses entering into Pharoah's court demanding all of Israel be free.
Elijah's confrontations and rebukes with Ahab.
Peter (and Paul's) stinging rebuke's to Jews about crucifying the Messiah
Telling someone to dip in a dirty river 7 times as a way of healing
Jesus spitting in dirt and putting in a blind guys eyes.
Jesus rebuking Pharisees and Saducees in Synagogue
Jesus giving mysterious replies to a head of state when on trial
Jesus asking people to eat his flesh and drink his blood, risking being misunderstood.
Precedent for someone getting up and passing out in tongues as a way to communicate God's message? NONE. If this is a new thing, perhaps it should stay consistent with, at least, prior teachings from our Church Fathers, including the Apostolic Fathers, chiefest of whose writings we have, Paul.
If you re-read my post, you'll see I was agreeing with you.
