Extremely hard to see where the "Charismatic Movement" has been valid, when it seems to have just declared the reformation null and void!
It is all about......."Excitement". The movement was centered in emotionalism which speaks to the heart of man wanting do to something to show his love for God.
Emotionalism is was way to release that which we keep inside for fear someone will think we are move by Satan instead of God.
Church over the last 1900 years insisted that we sit still, be quiet and listen. All of a sudden the Pentecostal denomination said......
"Clap your hands, Stand and shout" and people realized that they would worship without being hit with a lighting bolt.
I AM NOT promoting the Charismatic Pentecostal doctrine in any way! Howevre I am saying the the church of the FROZEN CHOOSEN actually helped in its coming about.
We are a Baptist church which now for 30 years has encouraged the congregation to SHOUT praises to God, to SHOUT AMEN, to CLAP hands and to STAND as the Holy Spirit moves you! All of that is simply a way to be involved with the worship service and there is nothing wrong with being excited and emotional.
Now when emotions overtake accepted human behavior, then there has to be a standard that must be Bible based and not human tradition.
