The female Pentecostal minister who narrated on TV how God raised her pet chicken from the dead was almost too much to take. Unfortunately, activities treading the border between blasphemy and absurdity appear to be standard across much of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement. So says John MacArthur, who spares no harsh language in his exposé of the theological heresies and rampant moral failures of this movement’s leaders. Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship (Thomas Nelson, 2013) detonates enough theological ordnance to blow these false teachers sky-high. Patiently, MacArthur explodes the claims to continuing revelation, demonstrates that Pentecostal ministers have shockingly high rates of moral failure, and delivers a persuasive account of the Holy Spirit’s real work in the body of Christ.
New Testament prophecy is no different from Old Testament...
