Thus, I chose not to challenge Tom's statement (Martyn Lloyd-Jones could be called a Charismatic) as it may very well be correct depending on one’s definition of Charismatic.
I guess my definition of Charismatic is decidedly different than what some may hold to. I am quite privy to Lloyd-Jones' position that the ecstatic gifts may be relevant for today, but what is indisputable is his view was not practiced in his church; at least to any extent that it is widely known. However, the overwhelming majority of his theology and practice is impeccable and to choose to not read any of his writings or worse yet to judge him unregenerate is, IMHO, incredibly ignorant and prejudicial. Would I be half the man of God that Martyn Lloyd-Jones was, I would surely be a blessed man indeed. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I find his quasi non-cessationist views to be in error. But I also find equally unacceptable errors in Calvin and Spurgeon. Yet, none of these views which I find objectionable bear upon salvation and are non-essentials.

In His Grace,
