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

OBJECT OF DESIRE



The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal power.
The Holy Spirit cannot be wielded.
The Holy Spirit does not work on demand.
The Holy Spirit does not do things that can be seen, felt or heard.

because

The Holy Spirit is a Person.
The Holy Spirit is intelligent. (1 Cor. 2:10-11)
The Holy Spirit has feelings. (Eph. 4:30)
The Holy Spirit has a will. (1 Cor. 12:1).

The Charismatic Renewal seems to have an obsession with the Holy Spirit. At the same time charismatic culture hinders the Holy Spirit through human psychology and demonic mysticism. Charismatics replaced the Holy Spirit’s power with base manipulations and entertainment. Human cleverness and entrepreneurial exploits are gaining the Church new converts and are seducing our youth. The Church should be growing by the power of the Holy Spirit and not by human and demonic maneuverings. But when you establish false standards of sanctification, false standards of spirituality, you actually quench the work of the Holy Spirit.

Charismatics are praying to the Holy Spirit. But neither Jesus nor the apostles did that. Jesus thought us to pray to the Father - through Him (the Lord Jesus) - by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; Romans. 1:8 - 7:25) and Paul taught us to pray to God the Father through the Lord Jesus.

"The Charismatic Renewal is interested in the Holy Spirit in a sense. But those I have talked to are not really all that interested in the Holy Spirit. But as to Who He is, and what He is, what His relation is to the Son, what His function is in the plan of God, they've never given a thought. Their primary concern is the stimulation they can get from it." — Famous lay theologian Frank Sheed

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.
