Have you or your Church had to deal with 'disruptive Charismatics?"

My church is Independent Fundamental Baptist, so we've never had a problem with Charismatic behavior. Perhaps they're afraid of us; they might fall under conviction in our services.
Same here.My church is Independent Fundamental Baptist, so we've never had a problem with Charismatic behavior. Perhaps they're afraid of us; they might fall under conviction in our services.
My advice is to have a civil, Christian discussion with them and explain the differences between them and you.
What ended up happening was that the Man ended up divorcing his wife, and while he kept telling me I would be a much better Christian if spoke in tongues and had the anointing, he still was crippled on one side of his body from a prior car accident, so where all of that "healing power" then?
The mind can play some terrible tricks on people.
Remember........We like what we know even if what we know is wrong.
Just Ironic when meet charasmatics who almost brag about their special position now with tongues and power, an yet many of them in areas of leadership are falling into divorce, sexual sinning, and cannot get themselves physically healed
You present a really good question. Make sure you understand this, I have NO idea but I can give you an opinion. This is personal opinion.
That is because they can not admitt to the fact that what they have believed is THE lie!!!! We like what we know even if what we know is wrong!!!!!
Genesis 3:2.....
“ ‘You will not surely die,’ the serpent said to the woman. ‘For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’ ”
There are hundreds of millions of people in the world today who identify as either Pentecostal or charismatic. Among them there are certain leaders and popular voices who believe “weird” things and have amassed a considerable following among those who are gullible and undiscerning.
First of all, I must say that those who are regarded as “weird” believe in the foundational truths of the Christian faith. They affirm the Trinity, the virgin conception and incarnation of God the Son, the sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and personal return of Jesus Christ to consummate his kingdom. They believe that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. To put it simply, they are our brothers and sisters in Christ, with whom we will spend a glorious eternity worshiping our Lord and Savior.
Do such folk sometimes say odd things? Yes.
Do they on occasion engage in practices that lack biblical support? Without question.
Can their ministry style be manipulative and presumptuous? Undoubtedly so.
Has Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Hagin, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Paul and Jan Crouch, Fred Price, and Joyce Meyer preach and teach .....
"We are little gods"? It is all over the internet for anyone how wants to investigate.
However, isn't that exactly what Satan told Eve in Genesis 3:2???????
But none of that means they are not Christians.
All of those so called teachers that you listed here though hold and preach and teach damnable heresies, as they claim Jesus had to get born again in hell, teach that we are gods, teach that Jesus never claimed to be God etc
