The Pentecostals and Charismatics: A Confessional Lutheran Evaluation (Impact Series)

The Impact Series features crucial titles on a variety of topics, including denominations, doctrine, and cultural issues. With practical applications for Lutherans and other Christians, these books provide a greater understanding of our modern church and faith, all while pointing to the Gospel.

Speaking in tongues, healing the sick, seeing the future; these are all part of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. This book examines the teachings, practices, claims, strengths, and weaknesses of this popular phenomenon using the litmus test of God's Word. Readers will get a better understanding of the history of these groups and the practices that distinguish them from other Christian groups. The author also argues that the tongues movement has departed from Scripture, while offering the proper theology of the Holy Spirit.
