Hello,
Browsing the categories here, I am an egalitarian, xennial non-word-of-faith charismatic.
I became suddenly severely ill on the cusp of adulthood while co-leading a mission trip in a remote area in Latin America and have been disabled for over two decades (most of those years housebound...

Hello! I'm doing an assignment at my Pentecostal Bible College, and need some input from a people across a variety of denominations.
I'm looking for answers to three specific questions:
What is your overall impression of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement?
How well do you feel you understand...
I seem to be going through some kind of "Spiritual Season" as some of my former Charismatic friends would say. Once upon a time, I was going to be therapist/counselor but took some hits in graduate school and could not complete the program which was very heart breaking years ago and I sort of...
I'd like to have a cordial discussion about miraculous healing, but we'll have to see how this goes. :)
As an opening question, do you think healing is always God's will? I'm not asking if it always happens. They answer to that question would be rather obvious. But as we know "it is not God's...
In Acts 2:38; 39, Peter speaks of the gift of the Holy Spirit being for his present audience, their children those who are far-off, and as many as the Lord shall call. In Greek the gift of the Holy Spirit means the Holy Spirit is the gift. And we see at least two ways God provided the Holy...
The words that come out of your mouth
Start to blend together into a string
Of never-ending syllabic cacophony
The whole room becomes full
Of the ritualistic utterances
That confuse the newcomers
And mock God's Holy Scripture
People fall over and lose control
The spirits manifesting in the...
God has been calling me for a spiritual ministry... but I don't want to..
My late grandfather was a pastor in a Lutheran church, and that is why my family members christian lives emphasise on faith, salvation, and generally do good in life and be fruitful because we are saved. However growing...
SEE AS BACKGROUND:

1. Assemblies of God

hey everyone, wanted to make a thread a little more on the lighter side. This will be for us to have fellowship and build a better bond with each other. Pop in, speak your mind, encourage each other :)
I'll start with a simple question, what are some of your favorite moments with The Holy Spirit?
THE OLD TESTAMENT BACKGROUND OF TONGUES
Tongues were given:
1. To warn unbelieving Jews to repent because of judgment to come.
2. To confirm the New Testament Word as from God by signs. Mark 16:17-20.
3. To confirm the Apostles as God's true messengers.
I. TO WARN UNBELIEVING...
27 REASONS WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD NEITHER SEEK NOR DESIRE TONGUES.
The Charismatic Movement contends that:
i) The New Testament gift of tongues should be sought and spoken by ALL Christians today. They seek to revive all gifts, but none are given so great importance as tongues.
ii)...
I saw a video of this woman's healing, but I didn't watch the whole thing the first time. Because of the way everyone was dressed, I thought it was a Hindu fake healing thing. When I watched the full video it was Christian faith healing! I know one common belief of the unpardonable sin is...
“having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,” (Ephesians 2:20, NASV).
The apostles were only for the FOUNDATION of the Church, whilst the other ministries such as pastor and evangelist are for the entire history of the...
Grace and Peace to you
I have developed a rich spiritual resource over the years, and would be willing to share with folks on this platform. I have the life sermons of the great apostle of Faith Kenneth E. Hagin. It includes the yearly camp meetings, Bible seminars, Holy Ghost meetings amongst...
How does the Catholic Church look at the Charismatic movement?
I think that the hierarchs officially endorse it.
And how widespread is it in the Church?
One Catholic article that took a critical view titled The Dangers of the Charismatic Movement described a Charismatic anniversary convention...
Here is the question I am trying to get at, but it's hard to word for a simple Yes/No poll: If Corinthians' glossolalia was the same as the modern Charismatics', and Charismatics' glossolalia is psychological in nature, then what does that say about the Corinthians' own glossolalia?
First, we...
