Charismatic doctrine, charismatic reality

This article dives into something called ‘cessationism’ within Christianity, which basically means the writer believes certain supernatural gifts (like prophecy or speaking in tongues) stopped after the early church. They get why some might disagree, but what really gets them is the state of some charismatic church practices today. They challenge the idea of ‘prophets’ who are never held accountable or ‘tongues’ that don’t match biblical descriptions. The writer says if you believe in these spiritual gifts, you should be the first to call out the ‘charlatanry’ and ‘quackery’ they see. They also raise a really good point about why, if there’s a gift of discernment, so many bad apples have been allowed to thrive in some parts of the charismatic movement. It’s a call for consistency and integrity, no matter what you believe.
