 | | Should your pastor be a charismatic, help her or him to be mindful of the spiritual needs of all the congregation, to be a pastor and teacher to all, and encourage her or him in preaching to present the wholeness of all aspects of the gospel. | | | Where an ordained person seems to overemphasize some charismatic doctrines/practices, she or he should be counseled to preach the wholeness of the gospel, to minister to the needs of all the congregation, and as a pastor to grow in understanding of our polity in the mission of the particular Annual Conference. | | | Charismatic Movement Throughout this report the term charismatic movement is used to identify the movement which began about 1960 in mainline Christian bodies, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, reemphasizing the importance of the gifts of the Spirit in the life of the church. |

| | HSRC: The Origins of the Pentecostal Movement |
| | Practically all the hymns of the early Pentecostal movement were produced by holiness writers celebrating the second blessing as both a cleansing and an enduement of power. | | | The Pentecostal movement is by far the largest and most important religious movement to originate in the United States. | | | The final phase was the penetration of Pentecostalism into the mainline Protestant and Catholic churches as "charismatic renewal" movements with the aim of renewing and reviving the historic churches. |

| | The Charismatic Movement Is Dangerous - Watch Out For It |
| | Moreover, if the Charismatic Movement were of the Holy Spirit of God, it would be exercising spiritual discernment and calling for separation from false prophets, apostate churches, and unscriptural practices. | | | The Charismatic Movement defends these extra-biblical, anti-biblical messages on the basis that, "New winds of the Holy Spirit are blowing." They say, "Who knows what the Holy Spirit may do?" Let no one forget, however, that the Word of God is a completed revelation and was given by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:19). | | | This movement is commonly known as the "Charismatic Movement." It involves not only various Protestant churches but Roman Catholic churches as well. |

| | The Charismatic Movement: A Biblical Critique |
| | Since the teachings and practices of the Charismatic movement are different than what orthodox Christians have taught for 19 centuries, we believe it is wise to examine these teachings under the light of Scripture. | | | Charismatics teach that believing in Jesus Christ is not enough for the fulfilled Christian life. | | | If you are presently attending a Charismatic church, you are exhorted to leave and attend a church that focuses on the truth as revealed in Scripture. |

| | Atonement Where: A comprehensive Study of the Word of Faith Movement, Part One |
| | Though many charismatics have warmly welcomed and adopted certain Faith practices and beliefs, it is interesting to note that some charismatics actually frown upon the Faith movement, and view the Hagin/Copeland gospel as a gross distortion of true Bible doctrine, and have opposed it, virtually, from it's inception. | | | Likewise, the numerous healings and miracles occurring in the Faith movement are not necessarily signs from God that the Faith gospel is the Gospel of the New Testament. | | | It may surprise those Christians who believe the Faith movement to be a by-product of the Charismatic movement, to learn that this is not the case. |

| | Charismatic prophets generally do not claim that they are speaking with the same authority as Scripture. | | | In the charismatic churches that I have been in, there has been, in my opinion, an over-emphasis on the "good" that would come about as result of becoming a Christian, rather than emphasizing the unbeliever’s sinful state before a holy God. | | | There are charismatics in most Protestant denominations and in the Catholic church. |

| | Those documents which come from the renewal indicate that the charismatic movement is unrepentant about its bold witness, receives criticism with the air of being misunderstood, desires to attain some maturity in theological reflection, wants to remain in and of the churches, looks for acceptance but fears it, and refuses domestication. | | | One would hope that the charismatic renewal will continue to be a prophetic force to the entire church and not degenerate into a group of stale denominational bureaucracies, as so many other renewal movements of the past have done. | | | The earlier ones also judged the new charismatics against the backdrop of the older classical Pentecostal churches while the later ones deal with the charismatic phenomenon as a part of their own church membership. |

| | Charismatic Chaos - By John MacArthur |
| | You see, the Charismatic movement breeds this kind of catastrophe in marriages, in families, in churches, because it discourages people from discerning the truth from Scripture. | | | Worse, the entire Charismatic movement has absorbed the erroneous notion that whatever is truly spiritual, whatever is truly of the Spirit must somehow transcend or bypass a person's rational senses. | | | Charismatic chaos is usually not so physically fatal, but it is spiritually fatal for many. |

| | Thus the Church on the one hand recognizes that the Holy Spirit moves where He will, and so she does not want to oppose His working, and on the other, that the Church must discern the authenticity of each charism, lest it be a deception of the evil one. | | | For this reason to say that the Charismatic Renewal is approved by the Church is not a blanket approval of every alleged charismatic gift or every charismatic group or individual within the Church. | | | Speaking to the International Conference on the Catholic Charismatic Renewal on May 19, 1975, Pope Paul VI encouraged the attendees in their renewal efforts and especially to remain anchored in the Church. |

| | The Spirit and The Bride by Margaret Poloma |
| | As a newly-emergent religious movement that has touched believers and churches on all continents, the "Toronto Blessing" has the potential to offer the western world an alternative Christian perspective that is truly catholic--one that will speak not only to the churched but to the increasing numbers of unchurched people. | | | Balance for the sometimes polyannish Christianity advanced by some charismatics can also be found in traditional churches that use a liturgical cycle to remind believers that there is a rhythm to be found in the history of salvation--a cycle that replays itself in both religious institutions and in individual lives. | | | One of the main challenges facing the "Toronto Blessing" (if not the main challenge) is the need to articulate a vision for the Kingdom of God within the context of a radically different world view --one that is consistent with its experience while remaining true to the basic tenets of the Christian faith. |

| | The Pentecostal Movement by Margaret Poloma |
| | The Pentecostal movement is not only part of a revealed religion, but it is a movement that professes a belief that revelation is ongoing. | | | Most of their forefathers and foremothers, deriving their doctrine from a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible, declared themselves to be premillenialists who expected a second advent of Christ to occur prior to the establishment of a one-thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ described in Revelations 20:1-7. | | | Our discussion of the Pentecostal movement and Christian millenarianism has come full circle from noting the role of eschatology and prophecy at the beginning of the movement in the early 1900s to observing the increase in prophetic activity in Pentecostal revitalization nearly a century later. |

| | Can a Charismatic Theology Be Biblical? |
| | The consequence of this approach is that a strongly charismatic theology is also, centrally, a biblical theology, normatively binding on all who claim scripture as their primary principle of religious authority. | | | <45> This highly charismatic NT emphasis on the intended result of faith is scarcely mentioned in traditional systematics texts, where faith is almost exclusively tied to some aspect of the ordo salutis. | | | Content analysis would indicate via programmaticstatements that not only was Jesus' mission of the Kingdom centrally charismatic (summarized in Lk 4:18-21,43; Acts 2:22; 10:38) but the fact that he specifically repeats the emphases of his own mission in the commissions to his disciples (Mt. 10; Lk 9 and 10<31> and Mt. 28:19-20, cf. |

| | Challenges of the Charismatic Movement to the Reformed Tradition |
| | The impression is widespread, particularly within the charismatic movement, that maintaining the epochal, once-for-all, redemptive-historical significance of Pentecost means denying that the Holy Spirit baptism has any experiential significance or implications. | | | That is not, or at least should not be, at issue between the Reformed tradition and the charismatic movement, nor within the Reformed community. | | | To assess the primary significance of Pentecost as an empowering or gifting experience enjoyed by some believers in distinction from others and "beyond" salvation seen as the forgiveness of sins, as happens in the charismatic movement and elsewhere,[20] is seriously inadequate. |
