Your piece is interesting regarding the Charismatic movement. I was very young when it took root. But, I remember how easy it was to call yourself a charismatic because it didn’t threaten anyone! You could call yourself a Christian and it didn’t come with the stigma of judgement. Yet, as much as Jesus loved, forgave, and blessed others; He never backed away from telling the truth about sin and the Father’s punishment. Many Christian churches have run from preaching fire and brimstone and yet isn’t that the very reason why Jesus allowed himself to be hung on a cross?
I am flattered that you think I wrote this, but it was pastorbillrandles in post one. :)
