This book was key in helping my wife (then fiancee) and I come to grips with our wildly differing spiritual backgrounds. Together we learned that charismatics often, unknowingly, exalt their personal experiences above scriptural truths. If you or a loved one were ever involved in a charismatic / pentecostal church, this is MUST READING! For God's sake, (really), read this.

Now we know why the Baptists will be in heaven first...

The "dead" in Christ shall rise FIRST.


(I saw that on someone else's review and just had to use it)


Just because miracles, signs and wonders have ceased (or never existed in the first place) in John MacArthur's church, doesn't mean that they ceased for the rest of us. God is still confirming His Word with signs following! I've seen hundreds of miracles and healings.. and I've heard testimonies of people being raised from the dead after being dead for over 6 hours!

Dr. John McCarthur has written a book that may not please everyone, especially some from a charismatic or Pentecostal background. However, there is one thing that cannot be denied. If you disagree with him, you better come equipped with plenty of biblical, cultural, and historical evidence for you case. This book addresses error and excess in an area many are afraid to touch. In a day where everyone is afraid to speak truth, Dr. John McCarthur provides an insightful and penetrating look into the biblical validity of much of the modern charismatic movement.

This book contain a lot of information, it is a must for anyone with charismatic interests.

Do not read this book. If you are a non-christian, you will be surprised at the hate that exists among professing christians. i am *not* a charismatic, but i was saddened by this book. Read this book instead "Surprised by the power of the Spirit" by Jack Deere.

I am so thankful that John MacArthur wrote this book. I was caught up in so many of the lies that the Charismatic, Word of Faith and Pentecostal churches taught me. This book helped me to see how the scriptures have been twisted. Most of the things I had learned were Traditions of MEN and not the Truth. If you have any bit of doubt whether you are being taught the Truth of the Gospel......read this book. It is filled with so much scriptural, historical evidence that it is hard to ignore.Be a berean and study your bible. We are warned of the deception of these teachers.....don't wait.... He's coming soon.
