The outrageous idea of a "Reformed Charismatic" is an oxymoron. It is contradictory and impossible to hold to Sola Scriptura and belief in continuous propositional revelation in any form, at the same time. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" /> This is even more so than some of these others here:

Denny,

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Dominion Work - Reformed Charismatics by Joseph Mc Auliffe descibes the movement and it's tenants. As with so many hybrid churches they are a work in progress. Many who call themselves "Reformed Charismatics" are coming out of the Charismatic movement and discovering Reformed doctrine. As you can see by the article I've enclosed it has many problems but also may bring something to the church which was lacking namely more emphasis on the essential work of the Holy Spirit.

Mc Auliffe writes:

Charismatics begin the journey in the Spirit but is is Reformed theology that develops them in the apostolic Faith. The emphasis on Sola Scriptura punctuates the paramount authority of God's Word and consequently subjugates every spiritual expression to the Biblical standard. RCs do not equate the content of any spiritual gift with that of Scripture.


The principal tenets of the Reformed Faith are precisely the antidote to charismatic deficiencies.
