I was forced to go to a southern baptist church up until i was 17.
The Youth Pastor (A Pastor specifically for Teens and young adults) suggested doing this exact thing over 10 years ago when i was forced to go there by my family.
I stood up in the middle of him saying they should do this and screamed that anyone who tried that would likely die or risk permanent bodily harm. I mentioned how going more than 3 days without water can easily kill you due to dehydration and that we werent Jesus so we couldnt use "Holy Magic" to sustain ourselves nor did Jesus tell anyone to try doing this in the bible.
I was berated by the pastor and told to leave.
Shortly after however he got in trouble by the head of our church for suggesting something so dangerous and was fired.
I believe he runs another Youth Program in Arkansas now.
But i cant imagine what mighy of happened if those teens were gullible enough to try doing what he said.

Might have watched some friends die.
