I had to LOL. My first experience with the charismatic movement was in fact extreme. I made the mistake of taking my son to a morning worship service and he was frightened. The thing that got me was the discordant noise. Very unpleasant.

I did, however, visit other charismatic churches and know that God works in His own way to distribute the gifts, with speaking in tongues being the least powerful but most desired and sometimes required [not Biblical]. Very loving people. As for the noise, I think the charismatics should follow the rules for speaking in church as suggested by Paul. Women should be quiet.

I heard the sound of heaven one day as I went into the basement of a prayer powerful church. The sound of children laughing and giggling in unison was divine. I hope I never forget that moment.
