Strange Fire ─ The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit With Counterfeit Worship

What would God sayabout those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange trueworship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospelwith vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yetspeak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions ofdollars?

The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-groundfor scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As amovement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at anunprecedented rate.

From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, theCharismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperitygospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” withoutChrist, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having adisastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcasttheir heresies to every part of the world.

In Strange Fire,bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory historybehind the modern Charismatic movement. He lays out a chilling case forrejecting its false prophets, speaking out against their errors, showing truereverence to the Holy Spirit, and above all clinging to the Bible as the inerrant,authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claimsmust be tested.
