To be “filled with the Spirit” is a biblical phrase, often used but rarely understood. Some would use the phrase to describe either another Christian's character or a moment when someone seems to have divine inspiration. Most commonly, the term “filled with the Spirit” is used to describe sudden ecstatic behavior. What is clear is that the church struggles to understand what the Bible means when it says:

Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Today on the Postscript, we have Pastor Brian Clark, church planter, author, and Biblical studies instructor at LFBI, to discuss this topic with Brandon Briscoe, provost of LFBI. Brian will help us gain a biblical answer for what it means to be filled with the Spirit and how it affects our life and ministry.

In American revivalism, there is a long history of charismatic experientialism being justified under the subheading of spiritual gifts. Speaking in tongues, healing and prophesying are often pulled from their scriptural context, redefined and then reapplied to substantiate euphoric behavior in the church.

Have the spiritual gifts been co-opted? Do certain spiritual gifts cease? If so, which ones and why?

Today on the Postscript, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute invites Dr. Chris Best, missiology instructor at LFBI, to discuss spiritual gifts, the cessation of gifts and the purpose of spiritual gifts in the New Testament church. We conclude with how believers can find their fit in their own local church ministry in a way that honors God's Word, so that they may become more fruitful in a walk with Jesus Christ.

In this episode, the Ps+ looks at an example of a charismatic hermeneutic through the lens of the International House of Prayer.

In this episode we continue our discussion on Charismatic Theology with professor and pastor Alan Shelby. We address the motives of those who leverage heresies such as Prosperity Gospel & Word of Faith Healing. We briefly touch on the teachings of Todd White, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen & Benny Hinn, & examine biblically how their false gospels lead otherwise good disciples of Christ astray.

In this first of three episodes on Charismatic Theology, Pastor and Professor Alan Shelby of Harvest Baptist Church discusses the history and heresy within the movement.
