review 1: If I could divide this book into two separate books, one condemning the sins and heresies of the prosperity gospel or aberrant charismatics and the other a critique of a continuationist position, reviewing it would be much easier. The parts of this book that condemn false teachers is excellent, and I am in wholehearted agreement with MacArthur. However, when it comes to accurately representing and engaging with a responsible continuationist position, this book fails significantly. As a continuationist, none of MacArthur's descriptions were a fair or accurate representation of what I and many others believe. So I give it three stars. I'm grateful for MacArthur's willingness to confront error and sin, but I wish he had been more careful to represent faithfully the views of t... morehose with whom he disagrees.
review 2: "I always have to laugh when I see people in wheelchairs show up at our church, because if the Charismatic [and Pentecostal] church really had anything going on, they wouldn't be here" ( John MacArthur). According to this theology, there would have been no sick people when Jesus left the earth if He had had anything going on. This book is filled with a grossly biased, poorly documented opinion. Some people have been "educated" right out of believing in a God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As a someone with a Masters degree and many years in the Church, I closed the back cover deeply saddened for those the author is misleading by his own bias and opinion. less
