Charismatic Doctrine
In the Light of God's Word
by Shaun Willcock
In there can be no doubt whatsoever that, within worldwide `Christendom', the religious phenomenon of the twentieth century is the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement. No other religious movement this century has enjoyed such universal and rapid growth, so that tens of millions of people around the world identify with it; and it continues to grow. Its supporters praise it as a worldwide "outpouring" of the Holy Spirit, a latter-day revival such as the world has never seen before, the most exciting and glorious period the Church has ever experienced since the first century.
They claim that the Lord has restored the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Church, that millions are speaking with new tongues as the Spirit gives them utterance, that the sick are being healed, the dead are being raised to life, and apostles and prophets are once again walking the earth. Their services are characterised by exuberant, prolonged singing, usually to the accompaniment of pianos, organs, guitars, drums, and various other instruments played by slick professionals; "speaking in tongues"; "slayings in the Spirit"; "prophecies"; "healings"; even dancing. From a few, frowned-upon churches and denominations in its early days, the movement has spread like wildfire, and today it is an important and ever-growing part of most of the Protestant denominations, and of the Roman Catholic institution. From massive auditoriums filled to capacity in the major cities of the world, to small and simple buildings in dirt-poor villages deep in Third World countries, the Pentecostal/Charismatic message is enthusiastically proclaimed.
But is this movement of God?
That is the great question, the question that demands an answer. For this movement to be a movement of the Spirit of God, it must be in accordance with the Word of God. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God" (1 Jn.4:1). Is the spirit of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement the Spirit of Christ? Every spirit must be tested; and how? by the Word of God. "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (Isa.8:20).
