In the reality of charismatic communities there are
some controversial matters that need to be evaluated.
The main criterion of the evaluation is the
Word of God and theological analysis. Among
many opinions that evoke doubts are overemphasis
of healing, demonic influence, so called intergenerational
sin and charismania. Apart from
that, there are some phenomena during prayers in
charismatic communities that are questionable on
the pastoral grounds, e.g. so called resting in the
Spirit, speaking in tongues, crying and laughter,
some practices connected with the prayer of liberation.
What is necessary is the proper biblical and
theological formation of the congregation so that it
is able to accept God’s signs, but not to be focused
on them
