An analysis of the Chartismatic Movement

There is an ongoing rising tide of criticism of Christian leaders in America, particularly in the Evangeligal,Charismatic movent. People like Mike Winger are making a lot of comment on their youtube chamnnels about the failings of some very influential leaders. Many are wading into the debate. As a new Christian in the 1970's I was warned by my Pastors about getting involved in the Charismatic movement. Please note over the years I have developed good relationships with some in the charismatic church. My Pastors did not teach there were no spiritual gifts but gave us good instruction on what the gifts are and how to discover our spiritual gift. Every Christian has at least one. The work of Ray Stedman("Body Life"} was very important in how to discern what the gifts were and to watch out for false gifts. There were leaders in Australia such as Bryce Hartin and in America such as Ernest B Rockstad and others in other places that were very helpful in this area. While I welcome the people making waves about all this in America at present, I think they have further to go and need to change their thinking on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts. To assist that end I have linked to an online sermon by the late Bryce Hartin which I think is a good place to begin. You need to cut and paste this link and then use your usual online search method. https://promiseboxaudio.com/bryce-hartin-an-analysis-of-the-charismatic-movement/
