Need 4 Creed
Puritan Board Freshman
In the 19th century, reformed believers were concerned that the holiness movement would lead protestants back to Rome, reformed believers in the 20th century had the same concerns about pentecostalism -- classical pentecostals, and reformed believers had similar concerns about the charismatic renewal. This video clip is interesting -- John and Carol Arnott (Toronto Blessing) and Kenneth Copeland (prosperity gospel) meet with Pope Francis to discuss world evangelisation. As I listen to John and Carol, I cannot help but feel they are being very naive regarding the nature of catholicism. That being said, this is a good illustration of how far the charismatic church has shifted from its protestant roots. Was the Toronto Blessing a spiritual renewal? It has certainly done nothing to increase a knowledge of the gospel. If anything the lines have been blurred to the point of non-existence. Some will interpret this as unity, but unity that is not based on truth, is not unity.
