Deceptions in the Charismatic Movement (False Signs Vs. True Signs)
The Charismatic Movement was birthed by the Spirit of God, but over the years some deception has crept in, and tried to choke out the work of God’s Spirit. Ecumenism, in the form of incorporating Catholic doctrines or beliefs into Evangelical Christianity, has produced dangerous heresies.
The Catholic Church for centuries persecuted Bible-believing Christians, burning them at the stake and persecuting them in various ways. Many Catholics believe that Mary is a “Co-Redemptrix” or has a special role in the redemption of man. They also believe that Mary and Jesus mediate grace together, and some call Mary a “Mediatrix.” Mary’s alleged role as a mediator with Christ is taught in Catholic dogma [A.]. Catholics believe (in their doctrine) that Jesus is not the only mediator for the souls on earth.
"This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation . . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix." [A.] [End quote]
But, the Bible says ...
1 Timothy 2:5. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
A statement that Benny Hinn made in a youtube video agrees closely with the Catholic belief in “transubstantiation.” Benny Hinn, a popular Charismatic leader, teaches the falsehood that the Lord’s Supper or communion is not symbolic. That is why, he says, he believes that “more” Catholics are healed, during their mass, than people in Pentecostal churches.
