It’s a very serious thing to claim to speak on behalf of God. The Old and New Testament Scriptures are not soft on those who put false words in God’s mouth and misrepresent Him. The Bible gives us clear standards and tests for us to apply to those claiming to be prophetic in the modern Church. In...

The early Pentecostals all believed that the gift of tongues consisted of authentic human languages. Both Charles Fox Parham (Topeka Outpouring) and William J.

Pastor Chris examines a common Charismatic manifestation to teach what is and what is not genuine fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecostals and many Charismatics believe that baptism in the Holy Spirit is subsequent to conversion and is conditional based on the total surrender of the individual.
