VIDEO PRESENTATION: THE PENTECOSTAL-CHARISMATIC MOVEMENTS: THE HISTORY AND THE ERROR
We are pleased to announce a new four-hour 2-DVD video presentation entitled “The Pentecostal-Charismatic Movement: The History and the Error.” A multiplicity of photographs of individuals, books, and video clips are professionally mixed into this high-quality presentation to illustrate the message. I have been examining and re-examining the Pentecostal-Charismatic movements for more than three decades since I was led to Christ by a Pentecostal in 1973 and began to seek God’s will about tongues-speaking and the apostolic gifts of the early churches. I have built a large library of materials on this subject and have interviewed Pentecostals and Charismatics and attended their churches in many parts of the world. I have also attended large Charismatic conferences with press credentials. I have approached these studies with an open mind in the sense of having a commitment only to the truth and not to anyone’s tradition. I am a member of an independent Baptist church but Baptist doctrine and practice is not my authority; the Bible is. Each fresh evaluation of the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement has brought an increased conviction that it is unscriptural and dangerous. This multi-media presentation begins with my own experience with the Pentecostal movement. The next section deals with the history of the Pentecostal movement, beginning with a survey of miraculous signs from the second to the 18th centuries. We then examine the movements in the 19th century that led up to the creation of Pentecostalism and the outbreak of “tongues-speaking” at Charles Parham’s Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901, and at William Seymour’s Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles in 1906. In the last section of the presentation we deal with some of the theological errors of the Pentecostal-Charismatic movements, particularly focusing on the tendency to exalt experience over Scripture, the emphasis on the miraculous, the doctrine that Messianic and apostolic miracles can be reproduced today, and the doctrine that tongues speaking is for today. The final section answers the question: “Why are people deluded by such things as Pentecostal-Charismatic error?” David and Tami Lee, former Pentecostals, after reviewing a section of the book upon which these messages are based said: “Very well done! We pray God will use it to open the eyes of many and to help keep many of His children out of such deception.” And Mary Keating, a former Charismatic, said, “The book is excellent and I have no doubt whatever that the Lord is going to use it in a mighty way. Amen!!” PRICE $24.95 (DVD) Postage & Handling U.S.A. and Canada $5.00 Foreign -- To be calculated at time of sale ORDERING: This sale cannot be ordered via the Way of Life web site, but it can be ordered by phone, fax, or e-mail.
