I've never heard of it, but perhaps I'm on the fringe...

I'm sure that the churches that are on that fringe don't think so.

What do you mean by "fringe"?

Charismatic and Pentecostal people would easily outnumber Anglicans.

 

[Lamb]

Fringe also has the definition of "extreme" and I think the Charismatics fit that definition very well.

Wow what an insult to millions of people. I already knew that sopme on here held that type of view but to express it?

Everybody's into insulting somebody. Catholicism gets a lot of insults and that's 1.2 billion people not just millions

I wouldn't take it as an insult. I think if you are really excited about your faith and living for him you would be seen as extreme or at least odd in most christian churches. Sadly, if your really living for him in most churches you wouldn't fit in really well since most churches are lukewarm or dying

I like the perceptions grid

What exactly is the insult? Could you elaborate on this?

Fringe as extreme and charamatics fit that definition well? Perhaps I just took it wrong but it just didnt sound like a complement to me

Could you tell me what you feel extreme means then since you are offended by the word? I don't know what you understand it to be.

Outside mainstream...isn't that what it is though?

I did not use "radical" and I don't even see that as a definition of extreme when I looked it up just now.

OK but given the numbers of Charasmatics I would say that has become a lot more mainstream

Most charismatics will take it as a compliment. Lol we had 2 guys in church years ago when I just got saved, a twin. And first they were both enthousiastic, but then one of them not so much and to nag him, the other radical one, if he came home from a service he'd say to his brother: well, what did you think about it? Yeah well, it was okay. Oh. I thought the preaching was really radical!
