 Rating:  - very informingI think it gives great insight of what is going on today in so much confusion and relativism in Christianity,Christians need to take this issue seriously and discern what is biblical or not and this book is a great tool to start getting the information of today's Christianity especially the one on t.v Rating:  - Tackling False Spirituality I have attended a Charismatic Church for the past year.

In "Charismatic Chaos," MacArthur explores the roots, beliefs and practices of the 20th-21st century Pentecostal and Charismatic ...

MacArthur makes good points about the extremes of the movement that claim new prophecies and merely use "proof texts" if they reference the Bible at all. However, MacArthur does not acknowledge the possibility of Christians having direct experience of God except through the study of the Bible. He is denying the authenticity of the experience of the closeness of God of so many faithful Christians. He makes many misstatements denying the history ... Read More
