Even though I am not pro-Calvary Chapel, I think their form of Church governance matches the book of Acts and the very early Church rather well. That is, until the bishops became power crazy, presumably to defend the faith from heretics.

we have harvest here in riverside,what i dont like about this cc offshoot it is christian zionist and trinity broadcasting affiliated.
This reminds me of another complaint: Peter bashing:
  • Peter followed at a distance. Yes, he got as close as possible, putting himself in danger.
  • Peter sank in the water. Yes, but he's the only person in the world to ever walk on water (except Jesus).

Calvary Chapel churches are not charismatic nor are they anti-Catholic. They are fundamental in their Biblical beliefs and evangelical in their outreach to the unsaved.
They are not anti-Catholic? Ha ha, nice try at a joke.

They are not charismatic? Then why do they speak in tongues and emphasize the gifts of the Spirit so strongly?

Yes, as you note; they are fundamental in their Biblical beliefs and evangelical in their outreach to the unsaved.

I've attended several calvary chapel churches in different states and no one has ever spoken in tongues. No one has ever discussed Catholic beliefs in any of the services I have been to.

I haven't attended in person, but i have listened on the radio, and i've never heard either one either.

Mod Hat On

The purpose of having a thread discussing what people don't like about this faith community doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it doesn't fit with the SoP for this forum. This thread is now closed.
