The second major movement occurred during the neo-charismatic renewal of the 1960s. Pentecostalism began to gain acceptance and respect in the white-middle class in part to a change in attitude of social mobility, greater disposable income and suburbanization due to the economic boom following World War II. Alister McGrath attributes the specific event to an even in Van Nuys, California in 1960. McGrath writes: The rector of the local Episcopalian church, Dennis Bennett, told his congregation that

Charismatic Gifts Debate By Mark Jones Theo 350-B05 September 26, 2010 1 The Charismatic Gifts Debate For my research paper I choose the charismatic gifts debate because coming from a Pentecostal/Charismatic background growing up in church, I know a little about the gift. With growing up in a Charismatic church, I saw the gifts in action. There is a lot of debate on whether the gift is relevant for today or have they ceased from the church. One side says that the gifts are in the

apostolic age.” However, he also concluded that healings, tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, and other gifts which may have been objectively miraculous in nature fade not due to the sagging spiritual life of the church as claimed by the Pentecostals, but because they have fulfilled their purpose. Argument 3:

Are these gifts just natural everyday abilities or miraculous one’s on par with what Jesus showed on earth? Scripture gives some insight into these questions but with the power and flexibility of interpretation these answers are also obscured. Before any external analyses and opinions are examined, spiritual

MARSHALL WICKS IN COMPLETION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THEO350 B02 BY BARBARA TODD SCHOOL’S LOCATION: LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA FEBRUARY 15, 2015   Introduction The charismatic gifts debate is an important topic today developed over time in three phases.

Ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit Ministry and the gifts of the Holy Spirit seem to be something that a lot of the church have forgotten about. Of course if you were raised Pentecostal, this is something you might be rather familiar with. However, I have ever heard anybody speak in tongues being raised in a Nazarene Church, and I was very un-familiarized with these gifts. It wasn’t until I was sixteen years’ old that I actually heard anyone speak in tongues. I had never heard about gifts such

Silence of the Women. Part 1 To prophesy or not to prophesy, that is the question in considering the climate and understanding of the reviewed text for this paper. The chosen pericope for this topical paper will review I Corinthians 14:24-34 [NRSV]. Oftentimes, I Corinthians 14 verses 33-36 are under strict review because of its negative connation towards women and their plausible activities within church. The attack on Apostle Paul is increasing in much of his writings in the Epistles as an effort

causes plenty of division within the church over many issues. One debate in particular is the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit. Fortunately, it’s not the argument of whether or not the charismatic spiritual gifts were part of the first century. However, the major issue at hand is whether or not the charismatic spiritual gifts are still used in today’s church, or not? There are many beliefs of charismatic gifts, based off denominational sectors, church affiliations, personal experiences, and last
