I'm a Pentecostal Christian myself, and many Pentecostals do not believe that speaking in tongues are necessarily a gift that accompanies baptism of the Holy Spirit. Although this creates the question of "Whats the difference between Charismatics and Pentecostals?", the main dividing is the time the groups separated from the mainline church. |
|||
== Audience == |
|||
Despite that the dividing line that appears within this article is the tongue speaking, the truth is that many Christians that believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit and do not think that speaking in tongues is a MUST still call themselves Pentecostal Christians. |
|||
I think we need to step back from this article and consider the question of audience. The statement of the doctrine here is not, in fact, a statement of the doctrine at all, but an argument for it. That does not belong on Wikipedia. Anyone finding this article and the cessationism article needs to know certain key facts: |
|||
Other articles attribute the difference between denominations as things other than whether tongues is essential, including the time of separation from the other denominations AND that Charismatics tend to stay within their own established and pre-made church societies. |
|||
* 1. What is it? |
|||
Anyway, I feel the urge to change the article based on what I know and the knowledge on other articles (most coming from the article "Charismatic Movement". |
|||
* 2. Where did it come from |
|||
* 3. (Perhaps) who thinks this |
|||
* 4. Where can they read more. |
|||
The assumption has to be that they may have no theological or even Christian background. This article just needs to present the unvarnished and verifiable facts. I think "The doctrine of continuationism" needs a complete rewrite. -- [[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy]] ([[User talk:Sirfurboy|talk]]) 20:10, 6 December 2019 (UTC) |

Yeah, I attend a Pentecostal church too (though not a member), and many of them don't have the gift of tongues, but they still call themselves pentecostals (all of the the major leaders do have it though). However, technically, by definition Pentecostals believe (or should) in the initial physical evidence of the Baptism of the H.S., which is speaking in tongues. By definition that's what a Pentecostal is (a reference to the day Pentecost in the book of Acts where all spoke in tongues, whereas "charismatic" comes from "charisma" : gift, or spiritual gift in this context (1 Cor.1:7)), at least by tradition (coming from the Asuza St. revival) and by majority. |

The main objection I have is that the article, which should present both sides objectively, is entirely subjective and is more of an apologetic for the author's beliefs than a balanced source of information about both sides. That's in addition to any factual errors. This is a preaching piece. |

I agree that this page isn't very neutral or accurate. It's also organized poorly, as the headings don't divide the information into appropriate sections. The Pentecostal and Charismatic differentiation is rather strange. I've never heard of that distinction being made in that way. |

== Merge with [[Cessationism]]? == |
|||
Is there any good reason to have separate articles on [[Continuationism]] and [[Cessationism]] when they're both discussing exactly the same controversy? Please discuss this at [[Talk:Cessationism#Merger proposal]]. [[User:Chonak|Chonak]] ([[User talk:Chonak|talk]]) 05:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC) |

Audience
[edit]I think we need to step back from this article and consider the question of audience. The statement of the doctrine here is not, in fact, a statement of the doctrine at all, but an argument for it. That does not belong on Wikipedia. Anyone finding this article and the cessationism article needs to know certain key facts:
- 1. What is it?
- 2. Where did it come from
- 3. (Perhaps) who thinks this
- 4. Where can they read more.
The assumption has to be that they may have no theological or even Christian background. This article just needs to present the unvarnished and verifiable facts. I think "The doctrine of continuationism" needs a complete rewrite. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 20:10, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
