Dr. J. Rodman Williams, professor emeritis at Regent University, devotes the thirteenth chapter of his book "A Theological Pilgrimage" to respondig to John MacArthur's book "Charismatic Chaos."

     The following quote is from Dr. Williams concluding remarks: 

     "It is as if MacArthur is on a different wave length, so that nothing comes through clearly. There is a kind of bewilderment- -for MacArthur professes to see many good things about the charismatic movement- -but because of lack of experience cannot really understand what it is all about.

     Far worse than charismatic chaos is non-charismatic negativity. In the charismatic movement prophecy may be over done, healings over claimed, miracles over stressed, tongues over employed, but far worse is the negativity that makes no room for these spiritual realities to occur. Moreover, if these are indeed gifts of the Holy Spirit, and they are happening today, is there not the very serious danger of opposition to them being opposition to the Holy Spirit Himself?"
