Strange Fire review

In the book Strange Fire, the author John MacArthur lays the groundwork for challenging the Charismatic church. He has seen the negative impacts the charismatic movement has had on the church. MacArthur argues that the charismatic movement has misrepresented the Holy Spirit. He calls the people to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1). He focuses on pointing out false teachers.  MacArthur maintains that the supernatural gifts have ceased. The charismatic movement is painted with too broad of a brush in the book. There are some good things that have occurred in the charismatic movement. This is a good book for people to read but like all books the time to process what is said by John MacArthur.
