All opinions are welcome

Yes indeed, I read a few of the opinions.

Most do not seem to have a factual source for their opinion. That is okay of course since an opinion is not fact based.

I see a comparison between the Tea Party Movement and the Charismatic Church Movement.

The Tea Party Patriots’ faith in the words of the Constitution annoys some people. The only thing the Tea Party Movement asks from government is that they function constitutionally by following the words in the Constitution.

The Charismatic Church Members’ faith in the words of the New Testament Covenant annoys some people. The only thing the Charismatic Movement’s belief in the scriptures asks from society is that their praise and worship services be a bit noisier.

Christianity is not a religion to Charismatic Church Members; Christianity is a way of life guided by faith and grace of the New Testament Covenant.

That’s my opinion.

I find your opinion reasonable. There are many flavors of the Charismatic style; some not too impressive, others quite challenging (in a good way). I do prefer the style of worship, but it wouldn’t hurt to knock a few decibels off the volume.

I read Charisma magazine just to keep my finger on the pulse of various issues and to ID trends within the movement.

They do call out some (not all) of the shenanigans that are going on in that world.
