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

THINK REVERSE



The old adage “slain in the spirit” is both contradictory and erroneous.
The Holy Spirit brings life and restoration.
The term “slain” points to death and destruction.

Interestingly, Pentecostal/Charismatic theology applies, in diametric contradiction to its claims, the exact opposite of every Scripture passage it employs to justify itself. Up is down and life is slain for charismatics. As if they had everything backwards. Charismatics try to base the falling phenomena on scripture passages, yet none fit, because involuntary falling only occurs when a person comes under God's judgment. So applying it to anointing is quite absurd.

When Paul fell on his way to Damascus he fell under God’s judgment. Yet Paul’s conversion is a favorite charismatic explanation for the practice they call “slain in the spirit”. Except the Holy Spirit convicted Paul and didn’t anoint him. Paul’s anointing came days later, when the apostles prayed over him. Of course there is no record of Paul falling backward when the apostles laid their hands on him.

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.
