A lot of the crazy, irresponsible, positive confession, Word of Faith, prosperity gospel itinerant prophetic ministries are wreaking havoc in the charismatic churches, and causing people to go astray into agnosticism and cessationism. It’s because people don’t read and know the Bible nearly enough, don’t regard it as the supreme Word of God, and don’t use it to judge and evaluate the truthfulness of prophetic words. I’d say it’s also because charismatics have lost touch with the traditional Pentecostal theology taught by P. C. NELSON, ERNEST S. WILLIAMS, and MYER PEARLMAN. We’ve allowed Wayne Grudem to dominate our theology. The loss of classic Assembly of God theology, the loss of John Wesley’s and Charles Finney’s sermons, the almost complete loss of them in charismatic pastors’ libraries, I think is a huge factor in why there is also a loss of spiritual discernment with regard to prophecy. –J.B.
