For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you are a mature Christian and have experience with Charismatic or Pentecostal services and have a full, clear understanding of the admonition to "Test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (I John 4:1) then the services can be a true joy. However, some of the more extreme adherents are to be viewed with more of an eye to Isaiah's warning (Isa. 8:16, 19-20), in my opinion...
Clanad has hit the nail on the head when he mentions the 'chasing' of experiences. A year after Toronto came 'The River of God' outpouring in Brownsville, Pensacola, Florida. Now, I am perfectly comfortable with the Pentacostal and Charismatic areas of the church but would feel decidedly uncomfortable with some of the extreme manifestations from these services.
A while ago I listened to a sermon from a world renowned evangelist who suggests these phenomena are just results of human frailty and shouldn't deter anyone from attending these services, receiving the blessings and using them for good n their own church - I remain unconvinced though. Testing the spirits is scriptural and should be done....always.
