The Troubling History of the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movement with Justin Peters

If the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement is truly a movement of the Holy Spirit, its founders and leaders should be holy, right? In this episode of Sound Theology and Discernment, Justin Peters walks through a bird’s-eye overview of the history of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement. He traces its roots through groups and figures often called “God’s Generals” and tests their lives and teaching by the standard of Scripture. Justin discusses: Early groups claiming tongues and ecstatic experiences The Holiness movement and “sinless perfection” John Alexander Dowie, Frank Sandford, Charles Fox Parham, and the Azusa Street revival John G. Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, Amy Semple McPherson, William Branham, and Kathryn Kuhlman The rise of Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, and modern Word-Faith/charismatic streams Why a truly biblical view of the Holy Spirit leads to discernment, not credulity This session is meant to help Christians understand where the modern movement came from and evaluate it in light of God’s Word. ______________________________ 🔔 Subscribe for more biblical teaching and discernment content at: https://servantsofgrace.org/justin-pe... 👍 Like and share to help others find this episode. #JustinPeters #SoundTheologyAndDiscernment #CharismaticMovement #Pentecostalism #Discernment This video first appeared at Justin's YouTube and is posted here with his permission:    • Didaché - History of the Pentecostal/Chari...   👉 Stay connected with Servants of Grace for more biblical teaching, Christ-centered content, and resources to help you grow in your walk with God: 🔗 Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): https://x.com/servantsofgrace Instagram:   / servantsofgrace   Facebook:   / servantsofgrace   YouTube:    / servantsofgrace   🌐 Website: https://servantsofgrace.org 📖 Explore more theology, discipleship, and biblical resources at our website.
