Essential Charismatic Doctrines by Dag Heward-Mills Pdf
A clear and easy-to-read guide on foundational Christian doctrines. A necessary foundation for God's people. Doctrines of the Christian faith elucidated. Sound instruction on the redemptive work of Christ. Biblically accurate information.
We are a supernatural people. Made in the image of God and called to follow a risen Lord through the world God made—we're anything but normal. Given all that, it should not be surprising to us when miraculous things happen in our midst. Still, many of us are intimidated at the thought of it, and we stop short of trying so we won't disappoint God with our lack of faith, or—if we're being honest—so we won't be disappointed when God fails to deliver. In Miracle Work, Jordan Seng tells remarkable stories of physical healings and prophetic messages. He reflects on the possibility and limitations of a contemporary ministry that believes in the power of God, and helps us train and prepare ourselves for when God works through us in the lives of others. Read Miracle Work for a better understanding of what it means to be agents of grace, healing and even miracles in a world that desperately needs the good news of God?s loving, healing touch.

Experiencing God (2008 Edition) by Henry T. Blackaby,Richard Blackaby,Claude V. King Pdf
A modern classic--revised with more than 70 percent new material--is based on seven Scriptural realities that teach Christians how to develop a true relationship with the Creator.
The Case for Charismatics was written to provide a biblical case for charismatic beliefs and it was written in response to noncharismatic teaching.E The doctrinal differences that distinguish charismatic from noncharismatic Christians are addressed in light of nine questions. Each chapter addresses one of these nine questions. Baptism with the Spirit: Is it Normal to Receive at or after Conversion? Speaking in Tongues: Demonic, Psychotic, Learned Behaviour, or God's Gift? Church History: Does History Record that Miraculous Gifts Ceased?, Miraculous Gifts: Did They Cease upon the Completion of the New Testament Miracles: Were they Only to Confirm the Apostles? Revelation: Does God give revelation today? Healing : Can We Solve the Conundrum? Charismatics: Are there Abuses that Need Correction Receive: What Can You Do to Receive?
How do we know the Bible is God's Word? What is sin and where did it come from? How is Jesus fully God and fully man? What are spiritual gifts? When and how will Christ return? If you've asked questions like these, then "systematic theology" is no abstract term. It's an approach to finding answers every Christian needs to know. Bible Doctrine takes a highly commended upper-level textbook on systematic theology and makes it accessible to the average reader. Abridged from Wayne Grudem's award-winning Systematic Theology, Bible Doctrine covers the same essentials of the faith, giving you a firm grasp on seven key topics: The Doctrine of the Word of God The Doctrine of God The Doctrine of Man The Doctrine of Christ The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption The Doctrine of the Church The Doctrine of the Future Like Systematic Theology, this book is marked by its clarity, its strong scriptural emphasis, its thoroughness in scope and detail, and its treatment of such timely topics as spiritual warfare and the gifts of the Spirit. But you don't need to have had several years of Bible school to reap the full benefits of Bible Doctrine. It's easy to understand—and it's packed with solid, biblical answers to your most important questions.
Essentials of Pentecostal Theology by Tony Richie Pdf
Only a few decades past, academia tended to scoff at the very idea of serious Pentecostal theology. Today profound and variegated theological implications of this dynamic movement are the object of exploration and development across the entire spectrum of the Christian theological corpus. Arguably, an acute need has arisen for identification and evaluation of the Pentecostal movement's original and ongoing theological "essentials." What is Pentecostal theology really all about anyway? This volume realizes that Pentecostal theology is at its heart a working theology undergirding and energizing believers' worship of God in prayer and praise, in holy living, and in witness to a personal experience of the risen Lord and Savior manifested in the continuing power of the Holy Spirit. Authentic implementation, if not explicit articulation, of fervent Pentecostal theology often occurs in the vitality of local churches, house fellowships, and various mission settings in America and around the world. Birthed in the fires of revival movements, essential Pentecostalism, including Pentecostal theology, continues to burn brightest wherever it is fueled most directly.

Charismatic and Expository Preaching by Lewis D. Mathis Pdf
The purpose of this study on charismatic and expository preaching is to find the common ground of the two preaching methods and solidify them into a sound, biblical and theological preaching method that will edify the body of Christ and lead to growth for local churches. To solidify charismatic and expository preaching, it is necessary to explore the hermeneutical, exegetical, and homiletical issues that divide the two methods regarding the work of the Holy Spirit and the gifts the Spirit bestows to believers for ministry. Charismatic interpretations concerning the gifts of the Spirit revolve around "speaking in tongues" as the primary identifier of being filled with the Spirit, which most expository preachers and scholars view as an incorrect interpretation. This study seeks to answer these problems in the quest of unifying both preaching methods.
What is the essence of charismatic Christianity, a renewal movement that stresses the Holy Spirit's work, the church's use of spiritual gifts, and the significance of the supernatural? Helen Collins gives a novel summary explanation drawn from the spiritual gifts. Through Scripture and doctrinal reflection, she shows that charismatic spirituality is a coherent, reasonable, and rich tradition with much to offer. Collins demonstrates how practicing spiritual gifts embodies a distinctive theology, making these practices carriers of doctrine. Using the Acts 2 narrative, she summarizes seven key emphases and associated practices: expectancy (prophecy), enchantment (miracles), encounter (healing), expression (testimony), equality (tongues), empowerment (evangelism), and enjoyment (worship). The result is a fresh introduction that is biblical, theologically robust, and practical, helping charismatic students to learn more about themselves and others to understand the movement and what it has to contribute to global theological discussions.
The Divided Flame by Howard A. Snyder,Daniel Runyon Pdf
Wesleyan churches, Pentecostal churches, and the modern charismatic movement trace their theological roots to John Wesley. Yet these groups have gone separate ways in interpreting the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church, often regarding one another with suspicion or distrust.In The Divided Flame, Dr. Howard Snyder, a Wesleyan minister, calls Wesleyans and charismatics to reexamine how they parted ways. He finds that they still have a great deal in common theologically, and he proposes that this common ground should serve as a basis for dialogue."How does a Wesleyan dialogue with charismatic Christianity?" asks Snyder. "Rather than comparing our theology or practice point by point, we have chosen to address the central question that charismatic Christianity raises for us: In what sense is Christian experience, the church, charismatic? If the charismatic movement raises valid biblical questions for us--and it does--then it is more important to deal with those questions than merely to catalog the pluses and minuses of the movement."This book reviews the history of Wesleyan and charismatic thought, evaluating them in light of Scripture's norms for church life. A provocative study, The Divided Flame should bring fresh perspective to the controversy surrounding modern charismatic theology.

The Charismatic Gymnasium by Maria José de Abreu Pdf
In The Charismatic Gymnasium Maria José de Abreu examines how Charismatic Catholicism in contemporary Brazil produces a new form of total power through a concatenation of the breathing body, theology, and electronic mass media. De Abreu documents a vast religious respiratory program of revival popularly branded as “the aerobics of Jesus.” Pneuma—the Greek term for air, breath, and spirit—is central to this aerobic program, whose goal is to labor on the athletic elasticity of spirit. Tracing the rhetoric, gestures, and spaces that together constitute this new theological community, de Abreu exposes the articulating forces among evangelical Christianity, neoliberal logics, and the rise of right-wing politics. By calling attention to how an ethics of pauperism vitally intersects with the neoliberal ethos of flexibility, de Abreu shows how paradoxes do not hinder but expand the Charismatic gymnasium. The result, de Abreu demonstrates, is the production of a fluid form of totalitarianism and Christianity in Brazil and beyond.
This book is based on a lengthy international study process among Lutheran church leaders and theologians, all committed to charismatic renewal in the Lutheran Church. It led to the 1987 book Welcome, Holy Spirit: A Study of Charismatic Renewal in the Church, edited by the American pastor Larry Christenson. The present volume is a thoroughly revised, updated and expanded version by Norwegian Professor Tormod Engelsviken, one of the original contributors, that also deals with the further growth and development of the Charismatic Renewal since 1987. This is done with a global, missional and ecumenical perspective. It treats all the most important issues raised by the worldwide Pentecostal/ Charismatic movement, historically, biblically, doctrinally and practically. In doing so it attempts to be theological in content and popular in form. The book is evangelical, charismatic and Lutheran in its outlook and may serve as a textbook for pastors and Christian leaders providing both dependable information and spiritual inspiration. The publication is endorsed and supported by the Oasis Movement within the Lutheran Church of Norway.
In this book I talk about topics such as; the joy of the Lord, the gift of tongues, the Holy Spirit, laughter, spiritual gifts etc. I look at what the Bible has to say on each topic. I also look at both sides to each topic and analyze the pros and cons of various Charismatic teachings. For example, faith is good to have of course, but presumption is not. Believing that God is good and will bless us is good, but expecting him to definitely bless us every time we ask is not good, nor is that biblical. I asked several different friends what their experience has been regarding speaking in tongues or being slain in the Spirit also. Their stories and accounts are in here. The Charismatic movement is sweeping across the world and almost growing faster than any other sect of Christianity or any other religion. Therefore, it's important that we look at it and understand what it teaches and see if it's biblical. God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Sadly in Charismatic teachings a lot of times verses are taken out of context, or they teach things that the Bible doesn't even say. I wanted to research these topics and be like the Bereans in Acts, who searched the Scriptures to see if things lined up with Scripture. We need to look at what God has to say about these things in his word, not just the teachings of man. So that was my goal in writing this book, to increase knowledge on these various topics, but also to look at them honestly. Most Conservatives just ignore these topics, some of which are in the Bible, or say they are all evil. But they fail to see what could be good in them. Most Conservatives ignore the Holy Spirit altogether, and that is not good. We NEED the Holy Spirit more than anything else in our churches! Amen. But! As Paul says in 1 Cor. 14, "Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way." And that "God is a God of order, not disorder." So we need to find a balance to all of these things. And I pray in Jesus' name that the body of Christ can come to a balance at some point in the future. Amen: ) God bless!
