Roman Catholic Charismatic church?

Beware of those who seem to have spiritual gifts, but their life does not reflect the fruits of a truly born-again person.
Beware of those who have not turned from all willful sin, who are not abiding in obedience to the Gospel.
Beware of those who are going to churches that are not proclaiming the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Beware of those who attend churches that do not believe Jesus Christ will return to this earth and rule for 1000 years.
Beware of those who do not believe in water baptism by immersion after believing in Jesus and repenting-ref Acts 2:38; Lk 7:29,30. We must repent of all sin if we are to be saved.
Beware of the doctrine that does not believe the Rapture comes prior to the Tribulation.
The Bible tells us, THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS…AND THOUGH I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, AND UNDERSTAND ALL MYSTERIES, AND ALL KNOWLEDGE; AND THOUGH I HAVE ALL FAITH, SO THAT I COULD REMOVE MOUNTAINS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY (which is love), I AM NOTHING-1 Cor 13:1,2. Note the words, SPEAK WITH TONGUES…HAVE NOT LOVE. SPEAK WITH TONGUES…I AM NOTHING.
This verse shows us that a person may speak with tongues, yet if he does not have love, he is nothing. In other words, he is not saved even though he speaks with tongues. Tongues are not a sign of salvation as some incorrectly teach by misusing Scripture. Some even go so far as to say, if a person does not speak in tongues, he cannot be saved. God forbid. In making such a statement, he is saying that some of the greatest ministers and evangelists of this century are not saved. He is saying that some of the finest scholars of Bible prophecy are not saved. It is written, WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM-Mt 7:20. A person’s fruits are the evidence of his salvation, not speaking in tongues. Many speak in tongues, but their lack of love, bad fruits, hardness to correction from God’s Word, and other sins testify they are not walking with God. Often such people also give false prophecies that sound nice, but are in direct contradiction to God’s Word. They mislead those that follow them; they lead these people down the road to hell. They deceive those that do not have a good understanding of the Scriptures. They expound false doctrines and false teachings. Beware.

I thought is interesting article to know, it sound like sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
 
What you think about Roman Catholic Charismatic and is like a cult..

Back during the Late '60s, and '70s there was a SOVEREIGN MOVE of the Holy Spirit across the world, and in The Catholic Churches in the U.S. Notre Dame University was one of the centers, and MANY Priests, and Nuns were "Baptized in the Holy Spirit" (Tongues and all), and Born Again of the Holy Spirit.

Charismatic Catholics began to flow together with other people from all denominations worshiping, and rejoicing on the Lord. Denominational stuff just became utterly unimportant because of what we all saw in the Lord, and we just moved together in the Holy Spirit, as Christians.

Of course, that revival / season of blessing, like all revivals, came to an end in the late '70s. AND those of us who were part of it had a choice to make: "try to keep it going" (and form "Charismatic denominations) which a few did, or re-unite with the churches that we came out of. Rome, of course, wasn't happy about the whole thing, and Grudgingly allowed their people to participate - WITH WARNINGS not to question any of Rome's "Dogmas". But Charismatics Priests and Nuns were a VERY visible part of that revival, and often spoke and taught in multi-denominational Christian Gatherings.

Since a LOT of years have passed since those blessed times (I've re-integrated with the Assemblies of God), I have no PERSONAL knowledge of what's happened in Roman Catholic circles since then. So I'll not comment further, except to say that in the beginning it was an Absolutely VALID Sovereign international Move of God mostly among the "liberal" Protestant genres, and Catholics - beginning in their universities in the U.S. When the parishes started to have their parishioners become "Baptized in the Holy Spirit" they were calling in Protestant Charismatics, and Pentecostals to teach 'em what was going on, since the Parish Priests in the beginning had no idea how to handle it.

You do realize of course that there are many many born again Romanists? They are right where they belong. And they will leave that church when God draws them out. Until then...we have no grounds to judge any of them.

Please read this first to understand the difference in Catholic teaching and pure Holy bible teaching: http://www.talkjesus.com/bible-study-hall/5886-christian-catholic.html?highlight=catholic+christian

Remember this also...

James 2:1-3

1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:


GOD loves all people, those who follow Him receive His grace. Basically, denominations means nothing according to the Grace of GOD. What makes a difference within such denominations is the specific individual's sincerity in loving GOD or not.
We do not have the right to criticize anybody, Not ever... We have to remember that if a person is good enough for Jesus..they are plenty good enough for us. Thank you Chad...From one who is not a Romanist.
