Synopsis
In Strange Fire, bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate. From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many charismatic celebrities promote a "Christianity" without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world. In Strange Fire, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes: Rejecting its false prophets. Speaking out against their errors. Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit. Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested., In Strange Fire , bestselling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    This 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.

    Contending for THE faith

    This is a must read! It helps Christians recognize the sometimes subtle ways that the authority and sufficiency of scripture are undermined by all these "god told me" claims. Nobody used to talk like that - they wouldn't dare claim that God personally told them things. Now I hear it all the time. GOD HAS SPOKEN - IN HIS WORD, THE BIBLE!! I am not Calvinist as MacArthur is, but it is a valuable book and an easy read. I bought several as gifts.

  • Most critical review

    Worthless rant...throwing stones at another while living in a glass house. Hypocritical to the max.

    This book is a rant against Pentacostal worship liturgy. The author hates the way such folks express their enthusiasm for God and uses scripture quotes to justify his attitude. It seems not to have registered on this author's mind that his own church has denied the Bible as an authoritative reference to God's revealed desire for worship. Bottom line here is that the author's church has a boatload of its own spiritual problems without expending effort to accuse another of the same spiritual wandering. The book is a waste of time. Don't buy it.

  • A timely book

    Exposes dangers of charismatic movement which is sweeping the world. Gives a history of the charismatic movement from its dubious beginning in 1901 to the present day, and moves on to demolish fallacies such as the ideas that apostles, prophets, tongues-speakers, and healers exist today, before explaining what the Holy Spirit really does, A few minor illogical arguments, but many arguments from scripture. A very useful and necessary book for the church today.

  • Repented

    I highly recommend this book to all charismatics, its time to repent from this movement and its time to value Gods word over experiences. Many false religions began based on experiences and on revelation. Wake up men and women of God and come back to the true gospel that Martin Luther preached to the Roman Catholic church! That Paul preached to the pagan Corinthians! That Jesus spoke to the pharisees.
