I was in the movement for about 6 yrs. I saw it from the inside not the outside. My definition of Charismatic is probably diferent from yours.Charismatics believe their gifts are exactly like and operate exactly like they did in acts. We have today "gray area" charismatics. "open but cautious"(my church), third wave etc. These people are afraid to say the gifts cease(as I do). If they don't operate as they did in the bible then they are contrived by man. They didn't pull on peoples tongues in the bible.They didn't tell them to "practice" their prayer language till it developes. The prophets were judged to tell if they were false not weather there might be 20% truth. I could go on and on but I won't. They have ceased till God says (maby) in the future that we shall have them, then they will be as they were in the infallible word of GOD.
