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

STANDING IN PROXY




There is a charismatic practice called standing in proxy. People go up for prayers on someone else’s behalf; someone lays hands on them, prays in tongues and it is the one they stood in for who receives the prayers and the laying on of hands.

Standing in for proxy is mediumistic, not Catholic, not scriptural, and not a common sense practice. The concept comes from non-Christian sources; it is practiced by witches, shamans and New Age healers.

Standing in proxy is based on the theory that we are all interconnected cosmically; so a proxy can be the focus of energy that is sent out to the absent person for healing or deliverance. The energy-flow-connection-universe cosmology comes from oriental occultism.

Of course charismatics are not aware of the source of this practice and assume that standing in proxy is a form of intercessory prayer. But since ignorance is no protection from the occult, messing with spiritual things can still land them in some serious trouble.

Standing in proxy should not be practiced by Catholics.

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.
