<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]My point was simply that charisms has nothing to do with solo scriptura vs. sola scriptura.</font><hr></blockquote><p> <br><br>(Fred) I would disagree. It has all to do with this topic. All of the charismatics I have encountered over the years, both extreme and mild, appeal to the scripture to validate their experience. Usually, that validation is a mish-mash of poor exegesis and the redefining of biblical terms in order to fit the person's belief concerning their experience. What would be called "Solo Scriptura." Even Grudem, who you mentioned in your introductory post (someone who I respect, by the way), does this with his redefining of prophecy, so as to defend present day prophetic announcements that may fail. <br><br>Fred
