Kontrowersje wokół teorii i praktyk we wspólnotach charyzmatycznych : próba oceny z perspektywy katolickiej i ewangelikalnej

Abstract

In the reality of charismatic communities there are some controversial matters that need to be evaluated. The main criterion of the evaluation is the Word of God and theological analysis. Among many opinions that evoke doubts are overemphasis of healing, demonic influence, so called intergenerational sin and charismania. Apart from that, there are some phenomena during prayers in charismatic communities that are questionable on the pastoral grounds, e.g. so called resting in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, crying and laughter, some practices connected with the prayer of liberation. What is necessary is the proper biblical and theological formation of the congregation so that it is able to accept God’s signs, but not to be focused on them.
