  1. Modern Day Miracles The Charismatic Movement

  2. Charisma Charisma (meaning "gift," "of/from/favored by God/the divine") is a trait found in individuals whose personalities are characterized by a powerful charm and magnetism (attractiveness) and markedly superior capabilities of interpersonal communication and persuasion.

  3. Charisma One who is charismatic is said to be capable of using their personal being, rather than just speech or logic alone, to influence others in a personal and direct manner, and effectively communicate an argument or concept to them. It is thus a subjective rather than an objective judgment about such persons and falls into the domain of the irrational rather than rational responses.

  4. Charismatic Movement The term charismatic movement is used in both broad and narrow senses.

  5. Charismatic Movement Charismatic movement describes an ongoing international, cross-denominational/non-denominational Christian movement in which individual, historically mainstream congregations adopt beliefs and practices similar toPentecostals. Foundational to the movement is the belief that Christians may be “filled with” or “baptized in” theHoly Spiritas a second experience subsequent to salvation and that it will be evidenced by manifestations of the Holy Spirit.

  6. Charismatic Movement AmongProtestants, the movement began circa 1960, although its roots may be traced to the so-called Latter Rain (post-World War II movement). AmongRoman Catholics, it originated circa 1967. More loosely,charismatic movementis often used to encompass not only the movement in mainline denominations, but also the earlier Pentecostal movement, the later so-called Third-Wave of the Holy Spirit, and even Continuationism in general.

  7. Charismatic Movement The term "charismatic" was coined by American Lutheran ministerHarald Bredesenin 1962 to describe what was happening inMainline ProtestantDenominations. Confronted with the term "neo-Pentecostal", he preferred to call it "the charismatic renewal in the historic churches."

  8. Charismatic Movement Charismatic is an umbrella term used to describe the belief that the gifts (Greek charismata χάρισμα, from charis χάρις, grace) of the Holy Spirit as described in the Christian New Testament are available to contemporary Christians through the filling with or baptism in the Holy Spirit, with-or-without the laying on of hands.

  9. Charismatic Movement These spiritual gifts are believed to be manifest in the form of signs, miracles, and wonders, including, but not limited to, glossolalia (speaking in tongues/languages), interpretation of tongues, prophecy, healing, and discernment of spirits (see, among others, 1 Corinthians 12-14).

  10. Charismatic Movement Adherents of these beliefs are often called "charismatics." They may be found in any denomination ... though some have formed their own independent congregations and ministries, and para-church organizations.

  11. John 15:26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me."

  12. John 16:12-14 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you."

  13. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

  14. Defining Holy Spirit Baptism "Jesus used figurative language in speaking of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit." "The baptism of John in water involved as its chief idea an overwhelming, a sudden and complete overpowering of the person submerged by water...so the baptism of the Holy Spirit was to imply an equally entire subjugation and overmastery of the soul by the Spirit." (H. Leo Boles, The Holy Spirit: His Personality, Nature, Works, pp. 149-150)

  15. Its Purpose and Results "The baptism of the Spirit is totally different from filling in its results. Baptism unites one to Christ and makes one a member of the body of Christ." "When a person believes in Christ for salvation, at that moment he is baptized in the Holy Spirit." (Robert Gromacki, The Modern Tongues Movement, p. 101)

  16. Its Purpose and Results "So, baptized with the Holy Ghost must mean endued with power from on High." "To be baptized with the Holy Ghost means that they should receive power and be witnesses." "Jesus...meant the enduement of power for soul winning." (John R. Rice)

  17. Its Purpose and Results “The baptism with the Holy Ghost is not a cleansing or an act of regeneration. It is the indwelling of the third person in the Trinity, but the indwelling of the Holy Ghost comes after the individual has met certain conditions." "The experience of sanctification must precede or come before the baptism with the Holy Ghost." "These experiences of being born again and wholly sanctified make it possible for one to live holy and free from sin and they also make one eligible to receive the baptism with the Holy Ghost.” (M. A. Tomlinson)

  18. Matthew 3:11-12 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

  19. Speaking in Tongues "All instances of speaking in tongues in Acts were in foreign languages, known to the observers." (Gromacki, p. 101)

  20. Speaking in Tongues "It will be simpler and more true to the Scriptures and the plain intent of the Bible if, when we speak of tongues, we mean simply foreign languages. That is what they meant in the Bible in all the Scriptures referring to a gift of tongues." "These were not unknown languages that could not be understood, but the Jews were able to understand as the Galileans spoke with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance."

  21. Speaking in Tongues "The position that speaking in tongues is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit must be regarded as being unscriptural in origin." (Gromacki, p. 102) "No, speaking in tongues or foreign languages is not the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost."

  22. Speaking in Tongues "Speaking in tongues is one of the prominent teachings of the Church of God, and to those of us who are familiar with the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues as evidence of this baptism, it hardly seems necessary to say much about the subject." "That speaking in tongues was accepted as evidence of the baptism with the Holy Ghost is clearly indicated."

  23. Acts 2:4,6,11 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. "Cretans and Arabs--we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."

  24. Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

  25. Acts 1:4-5 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

  26. Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

  27. Acts 10:46-48 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

  28. 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

  29. Basic Bible Beliefs - M.A. Tomlinson “We have Scripture to tell us that these gifts of the Spirit were placed in the Church, and there is no indication that they were ever removed from the Church.”

  30. Basic Bible Beliefs - M.A. Tomlinson “Since Paul tells us that the gifts were set in the Church, and these same gifts were restored to the Church when it made its appearance in our day….” BUT IF THEY WERE NEVER REMOVED, WHY DID THEY NEED TO BE RESTORED? ONE DOESN'T NEED TO RESTORE WHAT HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED. AND IF THEY WERE REMOVED, "THAT WHICH IS PERFECT" HAS COME!

  31. 1 Corinthians 13:11-13 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

  32. Matthew 21:23­24 Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?" But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things:

  33. Matthew 21:25­27 "The baptism of John--where was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet." So they answered Jesus and said, "We do not know." And He said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

  34. 1 Corinthians 14:32-33 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

  35. Transcendentalism Transcendentalism is the doctrine held by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, and others, that truth (especially "religious truth") can be determined subjectively, or apart from any objective standard such as the Bible. According to the doctrine one would not need to study to learn the truth, he would just know it by "intuition."

  36. Transcendentalism "Everywhere men were seeking perfection. 'The ethical ideals to which Emerson and Henry David Thoreau aspired on a highly sophisticated level, plain men of the time sought at a Methodist mourners' bench or class meeting.' It was a kind of 'evangelical transcendentalism' which thrived in the idealism of a young and growing America" Vinson Synan (The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States, p. 30).

  37. 2 Thessalonians 2:9‑12 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
