This author makes a lot of broad claims about the nature of these churches, but how much research was done?
Since these groups are not part of a hierarchal system, how can the author generalize about what they believe, unless many local churches have been visited and observed.
I suspect that there is great diversity among these groups. They probably cannot all be lumped into one big group.

Your reply is accurate as I am involved with many new church plants happening around the world. This is still a small segment of the audience we reach of new church plants but it is growing. All of the leaders I have met are God-fearing individuals not at all like the generalizations listed in this article. HSTT, the style and approach they have towards worship and fellowship is not my cup of tea and I would not seek membership there. I draw the line at biblical accuracy/orthodoxy (read: Jesus Christ) and whether they are fulfilling the Great Commission. Some critics have their panties wound about a little too tight when it comes to differences on style and approach....
