Strange Fire Indeed

A Charismatic Response to John MacArthur’s Strange Fire

In this revolutionary work poised for a Second Reformation, Laudat draws out new definitions of God, angels, miracles, sanctification, revival, prophecy, Spirit-baptism, evangelism, Pentecost, visions, testing the spirits, the human soul, election, time, matter, and Genesis-creation. This is the first book that successfully: (1) Uncovers how God became man, (2) Resolves the Problem of Evil, (3) Shows a way to take election-passages at face value (i.e. monergistically) without the evil Calvinistic double-predestination; (4) Penetrates the mystery of how God regenerates, sanctifies, and revives us; (5) Shows how He reads our mind plus how He speaks to it; and (6) Explains how the divine Son was begotten (Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1Jn 4:9).

Consider just one example of Laudat's radical reforms. Every leader operates on a theory of how best to run the church in the aftermath of the 1st-century. What if God regards such theories as a man-made impertinence typically disqualifying us for revival? What if the Galatian epistle is exhorting us to simply wait prayerfully upon Him for clear revelations that both unveil His will and sanctify/revive us? If so, can even a newborn Christian test and verify such revelations? Boldly tackling the hard questions, Laudat proposes new answers as startling as they are unprecedented.
