Thread: What is your spiritual DNA?

  1. #1

    What is your spiritual DNA?

    I've been thinking about the results I'll be getting from my Ancestry.com analysis. I think most of us also have a spiritual DNA. Here's a pretty accurate guess as to mine:

    30% charismatic
    10% old line Pentecostal
    10% liturgical (conservative Anglican or Episcopalian)
    40% Brethren (Darby, Nee, etc)
    10% Conservative non-denominational (Yes, I have strains of MacArthur in my spiritual DNA ).

    Anyone else?

    I would say I was about
    50% Baptist
    20% Charismatic
    30% whole Bible believing non-denominational
    My dad was a Baptist preacher that became friends with John Osteen about the time he discovered the work of the Holy Spirit. He left the Baptist organization when I was in High School. Then I went to Christ for the Nations for college. Got pretty dismayed with the WoF preachers. Finally grew into where I am now at almost 60.

    My mom use to tell people she was Bapticostal. 😀😀

    Well, this is interesting topic. I cannot give percentages because I'm not sure myself. These are the "influences" not that l agree or hold to all of them, these helped to shape the "way I think and do" theology.

    Charismatic, Third Wave, and "conservative" WoF.
    Lutheran conservative and leaning heavily toward orthodox Confessional.
    Anglican.
    Methodist and Holiness.
    Baptist.
    Lightly Reformed, no TULIPS in my garden though.
    Orthodox.

    When asked for a denomination identity, I answer Third Wave and/or Charsmatic.

    I've never heard any Charismatic preacher teach that.

    Pentecostalism came out of the Holiness movement with that distinction, that without tongues there was no Spirit baptism. Charismatics might believe that but don't necessarily. My countryman Hans Nielsen Hauge came out of an encounter with God in the 1800s with great power but didn't speak in tongues so I guess I'm not a strict Pentecostal in relation to that. Even after Azusa street people sometimes receive the Spirit baptism as in are clothed with power from on high but don't speak in tongues, at least not to begin with. Maybe because they are ignorant of that or because they can't let go of the control their mind has over their tongue. But I think that everyone who has received the Spirit baptism also has the ability to speak in tongues whether they realize that or not.

    25 years ago I thought I was Word of Faith. Since then I've been reading Pentecostal history including sermons by A B Simpson, Woodworth-Etter, Wigglesworth, McPherson. Which all sounds like Word of Faith minus the excesses. I like Hagin but then maybe Hagin wasn't that different to them. Things have of course developed since the early Pentecostals and in various directions. But not all that much when one compares to the best from the days of early Pentecostalism during the first half of the previous century.
