charismatic heresy

UNMASKING THE CHARISMATIC HERESY "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect" Mark 13: 22 - "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church" Pope Paul VI

What IS this? Obviously, this isn’t the Sacrament of Baptism… or the Sacrament of Confirmation! This isn’t a sacrament at all. Yet charismatics seriously believe that this is an essential step for the release of the Holy Spirit. The implication of course is that the actual Sacrament of Confirmation is somehow inferior or at the very least incomplete without this so called “baptism in the spirit”. Now how is that possible that this non-sacrament is able to complete what the actual sacrament failed to accomplish? And if that were so, why has this not been a normative component of the Catholic Church for two thousand years? Was the Church incomplete with what it offered in way of sanctification before the charismatics introduced this Protestant novelty? How is it that the Church raised so many saints over the centuries without the “anointing” called “baptism in the spirit”? And how is it that forty years of Charismatic Renewal has yet to produce a single saint for the Church? But opps... every charismatic is a "saint"!



Another curious thing is there is no need for apostolic succession or priest or bishop for this “baptism in the spirit”, as just about every Tom Dick or Harriett can anoint over and over and over and over again and God supposedly refills everybody prayed over each time to OVER FLOWING again and again and again..."Hum de yah hay dah sham a lum yada ..."Wooohoo!!!! Wouldn’t you say that this whole thing is a bit over the top?

About Me

I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
