Debating the charismatic church & MacArthur’s Strange Fire - Unbelievable?

2013-11-23T00:00:00+00:00

US Bible teacher John MacArthur recently condemned charismatic Christians as unbiblical and unsaved at his Strange Fire conference.

Reformed Blogger Adrian Warnock explains why John MacArthur has thrown the charismatic baby out with the bathwater, and why he believes in the continuing gifts of healing, prophecy and tongues. Doug Wilson, a reformed church leader in the US, reflects on the conference and explains why he believes the ‘sign’ gifts ceased with the closure of scripture.
