An Attempt At Modification

                

To try to modify or reform the Charismatic/Word of Faith/New Apostolic movements (ie, trying to rid of mere "excesses") is akin to trying to modify or reform the Roman Catholic Church or Obama's healthcare plan. Why? Because any  attempt at modifying it is to accept the basic premise. It's an attempt to keep the basic fundamentals but merely change some tangential issue that doesn't change the foundation.

But that's deadly wrong.

One must reject it entirely. Period.

The "lesser evil" is no better than the "more" evil one is trying to distance one's self from.

The problem isn't the fruit that just needs some trimming here and there--or even a branch cut off. The problem is the root of the tree.

After all, the way  Charismaticism got into mainstream churches was by it's less radical version to begin with. The root is unbiblical and therefore the fruit will always be unbiblical.
