Dear Lee N. Field,

“How is ‘charismatic’ defined?”

A discussion about this very question ensued on this thread, starting approximately at the highlighted post:

I'm not sure that the thread eventually generated the most theologically-precise definition of “charismatic,” but in my view, it seems to have generated a pretty decent working definition.

Thank you, sitetest.

To recap, for the purpose of forming a "Charismatic Caucus" on the Religion Forum, the term Charismatic refers to Freepers who believe in personally manifest gifts of the Holy Spirit including but not limited to present day prophecies spoken in first person. Other gifts would include speaking in tongues, faith healing, etc.

The belief may be held by Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics, Mormons, and so on.
