I recognize the value of unity, but a unity not grounded in and centered on the truth is merely a superficial unity.
We Pentecostals and Charismatics needed to be offended, I’m afraid it may be the only thing that will make us think critically and Biblically about ourselves as a movement. And for this offense I want to thank John MacArthur and the participants in the Strange Fire Conference. The most hurtful thing about that conference is not the broad generalizations, sweeping condemnations, or lack of distinctions. For me as a Pentecostal the most hurtful thing about the Strange Fire Conference is my knowledge that far too many of the criticisms are true.
Thanks, KY. One of the best responses I’ve seen to MacArthur’s “Strange Fire” book and conference so far.
