Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Read
This is a good read. Has a good common sense approach seen in the book. It is a rather lengthy book for the topic, atleast for me, but all the better because of it. Great job on addressing the prophesying and tongues issues (it is a sad state that some Christian brothers and sisters are in). I have had my experiences with the results of Pentecostal/Charismatic movements and was a long and painful experience for me to try my best to lovingly rebuke their false beliefs in Gifts, which have ceased ...

Rating:  - Not fair, not balanced, and not to be ignored.
Nobody even remotely familiar with John MacArthur will ever accuse him of being wishy-washy, indecisive, or politically correct. MacArthur tells it exactly how he sees it - nothing more, nothing less - and for this reason he is often cast as a theological version of the Oakland Raiders or NY Yankees. People either love him or they despise him, with very few undecideds.
In "Charismatic Chaos," MacArthur explores the roots, beliefs and practices of the 20th-21st century Pentecostal and Charismatic ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Interesting But One Sided
This is a very interesting polemic against the charismatic movement. MacArthur makes good points about the extremes of the movement that claim new prophecies and merely use "proof texts" if they reference the Bible at all. However, MacArthur does not acknowledge the possibility of Christians having direct experience of God except through the study of the Bible. He is denying the authenticity of the experience of the closeness of God of so many faithful Christians. He makes many misstatements denying the history ... Read More

I Corinthians 14, specifically for this purpose verse 16b. or he who is not gifted with (interpreting of unknown) tongues. verse 21 - By men of strange languages and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people and not even then will they listen to Me, says the Lord. [reference Isaiah 28:11 - (( The Lord will teach the rebels )) in a more humiliating way by men with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.]

Rating:  - Please research both sides of this issue!
Before deciding whether to believe what you have been taught, I strongly urge everyone to research BOTH sides of this issue. Read this book, and also read another book such as 'Healing The Sick' by T.L. Osborn, before making any decision of how you want to believe. It's the best book I've found on the subject and I doubt very much if Mr. MacArthur has read it.
John MacArthur is very correct on many things. I appreciate the work he has done on this subject. However, he is also very much incorrect on several ... Read More
