Are Charismatic Leaders Repeating Rome's Biggest Mistakes?

Maybe history doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it does have a way of rhyming. In many charismatic spaces today, some of the most troubling patterns from pre-Reformation Rome have resurfaced, and the body of Christ deserves an honest conversation about it. As continuationists, we aren't here to tear down Spirit-filled Christianity, but rather protect it.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua, Michael, and Michael walk through parallels between the errors of Rome and what we're seeing in charismatic church culture today. We'll cover the full spectrum: from the way extra-biblical practices have entered in to the church, to the devastating sexual immorality scandals that keep surfacing, to the cultural pressure that silences anyone who dares to question a prominent voice and more.If you've been burned by a church system that protected its brand over its people, this one's for you. If you're a charismatic believer who still believes in the gifts but can't ignore what you're seeing, we invite you to pull up a chair.0:00 – Introduction3:11 – Charismatic Self-Critique8:40 – Papal Authority Parallels25:07 – Unverified Miracle Claims35:53 – Indulgences & Simony46:42 – Extra-Biblical Practices56:31 – Clergy as Mediators1:05:18 – Sexual Immorality Parallels1:09:54 – Silencing DissentSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
