Overview
In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate. From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world. In Strange Fire, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes: Rejecting its false prophets. Speaking out against their errors. Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit. Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.

John should have been born in Calvin’s day because he is still living as though he were. His views of other Christians is very alarming. His hatred of Pentecostal and charismatic believers is palpable. I thank God that here in America (Of which I gave 12 years of my life defending these freedoms) where people have freedom to choose how and when and where to serve our God, it is absolutely absurd that a man who is supposed to be my brother in Christ would attack and berate those of us who hold to a different view of the working of Holy Spirit. Yes thank God that he has no power at all to drag follow Christian believers to the as did his mentor and namesake John Calvin to the stake for burning 🔥 that is his strange fire.
