The Dangers of Charismaticism

The other links on main page will walk you through the errors of Charismaticism. 

Danger/ Warning....

Charismatics do not do their acts by the power of the Holy Spirit. Of course you are free to believe those gifts could possibly maybe still be used by God, but it has never happened since the Apostles era. However, those today who claim they do and have them... hold to false beliefs and false teachings, are lying, and are a big part of their problem. 

Satan and demons are liars and put a lying spirit into the ones who are children of the devil. 

They are among those who will be told "depart from me" and they trust in their own righteousness, and have a prideful superiority complex. The impersonation of spiritual gifts that have not been seen in any legitimate fashion in 1900 years is not a part of that equation. Many would call charismatics heretics and even a cult. 

You cannot receive God's gift nor fulfill your calling [purpose] in Christ... without first joining the repentant faith, eg. God causing you to be born from above; being born again; being converted by God. 

This also means no unrepentant sinner (unsaved) will recieve the gift of eternal life, nor the fruit of the Spirit, nor be used by God to do works of any kind that Scripture refers to, nor live out a persons purposes in Christ.

Jesus said you must be born again. And he clearly said how: Repent and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15

And to be a follower and approved workman, we need to rightly divide the truth, and obey what God taught, ...not add our opinions and false teaching/ heresy to Scripture, just cuz we like the idea of appearing special or better than others. Cuz that is treading on blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, [they are teaching and believing a lie, and lying about the Holy Spirit], if a person or group claims they have special gifts that are no longer given after Scripture was completed by the NT writers, who were Apostles and those who were with them. Telling of and what Jesus taught, [what he told them was written to complete the revelation of Scripture; it clarified and gave clear info on what was hid in the OT, corrected error of the Jewish teachings, and revealed all that was true, known and taught by this revealed Messiah in the NT, and based on the eyewitness. The whole Bible focus was on Jesus. From Eden to Revelation. It is a completed revelation from God, there is nothing new. Nor will there be. 

If anyone claims to have a new word, (by tingurs irbprophecy) it must align with Scripture, and yet if it does, then its not new. If it is false then it wasnt true nor from God. [Therefore there will be nothing new!]. 

Note, Rom. 11:29 is talking about salvation. Repentance is inextricable from salvation. "If you have been called, you have been justified, sanctified, and glorified" (Rom. 8:30). "If you have the Holy Spirit you have been sealed by him" (Eph. 1:13). 

You cannot have the gifts of the Spirit without the Spirit, you cannot have the Spirit without being saved, you cannot be saved without being called. All are inseparable.

And yes, Christians will be known by their fruit. Not by the false. A believer is not a habitual liar. If someone is lying about gifts the Holy Spirit doesnt give anymore, [because theyre no longer necessary, (We have the completed Bible)], ...it appears theyre not saved. Because those who live in sin are not of Him. If you purposely, constantly, day after day hour after hour continue to lie about having something you dont, pridefully proclaim you do, and try to tell othrrs they must have it in order to be saved, then not only are you a liar and not saved, but are preaching a false gospel. 

Jesus said "On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" Matthew 7:22-23

Dont head to Hell, ignorantly thinking you are saved & heavenbound. Flee from that false teaching as it will lead to your destruction. 

Then leave charismatic church for a biblical church. 

Footnotes:

*Mormons, JWs and Catholics are also sincere in their religion... but are also sincerely wrong

It will only do you well to understand the cessationist case and the link goes in depth. It is always good to take time to examine it.

+ You would only be a good Berean to go thru all this material, and examine it to Scripture, (not what you were taught).
