Do Charismatic churches follow doctrines?

[ltwin]

The thing about doctrine is that it is interpretation by man. I am not saying that my church does not have doctrine, but it is taken with great care to make sure it taught in light of true gospel and not mankind’s depraved interpretation of the teachings of the Holy Spirit. For instance, you could easily say that one of the doctrines of the church I attend is election. We believe that man is totally depraved, that Christians are unconditionally elected, that there is limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. However, we do not record these doctrines on paper, officially, etc. We have the Bible. God’s word, no more, no less. That does not mean we do not read the teachings of John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Piper, Jonathan Edwards, etc, we just hold them to be man’s words, not the infallible word of God.

Umm, is your church charismatic, because it seems like you just outlined Calvinism.

There is one Pentecostal church you have to be wary of. THEY are the:

United Pentecostal Church.

Aka Jesus Name Churches, Apostolic ?! churches.

They are heretics to all orthodox Christians. They do not beleive in the Holy Trinity, and when they baptise it’s not in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They baptise “in Jesus’ name Amen”.

Their is a name for this heresy and it is very old, but I forgot it. (thanks mr stroke).

If anyone knows and tells me the name of this heresy I bwould be glad if you will tell me.

Thanks

Modalism, in other words Father, Son, and Holy Spirits are modes or functions.

Just a question…

I understand that many Charismatic churches have a set of founding doctrines, but most seem very “basic”, i.e. Trinitarian God, Jesus died and rose again, etc. I haven’t run into many Charismatics that went beyond “experience”. Seems that the ones I have encountered cared less about beliefs and doctrines and cared more about “feelings and experiencing God”. Is this an accurate view of Charismatic churches?

I have known an AoG member that converted to the Catholic Church. He said the show got to be the point, as in too much entertainment, not enough teaching. I know that his views are personal and don’t speak for others.

For what its worth, the Charismatic movement within Lutheranism.
