A question was asked on
the Gospel Coalition Network to those Christians who are both Reformed and Charismatic:
If you were like me, you were a Calvinist who never imagined simultaneously embracing the charismatic/continuationist position. Or perhaps you were a charismatic, Pentecostal-type who never imagined embracing simultaneously the doctrines of grace. Would anyone care to share their experiences with coming to the Reformed Charismatic position?
I don't exactly fit either of those two categories (reformed first and then also charismatic vs charismatic first and then also reformed.) I was first charismatic, then not charismatic, then reformed and finally later also charismatic
again! I shared my story in brief on the site:
I was raised Lutheran though I never came to a saving knowledge of Christ as a child. I was 19 years old when I visited a word of faith church. During the beginning of the service, we were singing some song about Jesus shedding his blood for our sins and, well, I rather abruptly believed! My girlfriend and I married shortly there after and continued to attend that church.
