As the validity of charismatic gifts have received recent attention in the blogosphere, due in large part to Doug Wilson and Mark Dricoll’s discussion, and Michael Horton’s thoughts, and more; I thought it worth posting some comments from Vincent Cheung, a Reformed scholar [...]
Michael Horton, in a recent post (Reformed and Charismatic? – White Horse Inn Blog) makes the following comment:
I’ve never been willing to die on the hill of cessationism: that is, the belief that the miraculous gifts such as prophecy, healing, and tongues have ceased. I’m still not. Nevertheless, I am convinced [...]
Thank you for the welcome to Endued. I look forward to the dialogue and the fellowship!
To begin, I though it might be good to take a moment to explain why I am no longer an Assemblies of God minister. The resignation of my ordination in the A/G came at the end of a long [...]
I posted a review of some comments from William and Robert Menzies book, “Spirit and Power: Foundations of Pentecostal Experience” (here).
It drew a clarifying comment from Endued blogger, Matt:
I’m unclear Pastor Rick if it is your position that the baptism of the Spirit is BOTH conversion AND the initial filling, [...]
In the book, “Perspectives on Spirit Baptism: Five Views”, Dr. Walter Kaiser is tapped to present the “Reformed” position. I was delighted at his thoughts and share the following:
Kaiser (2004:35) makes a helpful concession relating to the various works of the Spirit, “We agree that Spirit baptism is a separate work [...]
In my reading of James B. Shelton’s volume, “Mighty in Word and Deed: The Role of the Holy Spirit in Luke-Acts”, I offer the following quotes and thoughts.
There is much discussion if the Spirit, for Luke, was primarily an empowering agent for ministry and witness, or also an agent of renewal [...]
I have long thought, from my own experience in a Pentecostal setting while growing up, that Pentecostals must embrace the Sovereignty of God in order for their theology and experience to make sense. While Pentecostals tend to be “Arminian” in their understanding of God’s sovereignty, I have long thought they were functionally “Calvinistic”. Pentecostal scholar [...]
Turner offers 7 major views within historical scholarship on the nature of the Pentecostal gift of the Holy Spirit. The fourth major view is dubbed, “The Gift of the Spirit Emphasized by [...]

Growing up Pentecostal and still considering myself a “neo-Pentecostal” of sorts, I wish to honor Calvin’s influence upon Pentecostal theology in this the year of his 500th birthday. I see his influences mostly in regards to the Lord’s Supper, Sanctification, and Ecclesiology.
First, in regards to the Lord’s Supper, note the following [...]

In my research for my thesis, I came across the following from BSac—V108 #429—Jan 51—pps. 46-47
Is the Pentecostal Movement Pentecostal?
Part 1 – Roy L. Aldrich
The first statement to be examined is the assertion that the modern Pentecostal movement is “a second, or fuller, realization and fulfillment of Joel 2:28–29” than was [...]

John Piper recently posted on his blog some reflections on Fundamentalists and why he doesn’t despise them (http://www.desiringgod.org/Blog/1251_20_reasons_i_dont_take_potshots_at_fundamentalists/). I was inspired by such to reflect on my own spiritual and theological journey in Pentecostalism. Here are 15 reasons why I am grateful for my Pentecostal heritage:

Book Review of "The Radical Reformission" by Mark Driscoll
By Rick Hogaboam On November 27, 2007 · Leave a Comment · In Book Reviews, Ecclesiology (Church Stuff)
Well, I must say that it is refreshing to read a Pastor who holds nothing back in his candor and blunt style of conveying his opinion. In the midst of political correctness and wuss pastors who are constantly afraid of offending someone, Mark Driscoll is a prophet of [...]
