It is high time we gave up the comparatively recent habit of dividing the evangelical constituency into two camps: 'charismatic' and 'reformed'. It is surely neither sensible nor helpful.
Jonathan Stephen
It is not sensible because these terms are not true alternatives (unlike charismatic/non-charismatic or Reformed/Arminian). Taken together, they are neither sufficiently exclusive, many evangelicals claiming to be both, nor sufficiently inclusive, many evangelicals claiming to be neither. It is not helpful because most evangelicals tend to be happier to categorise others in this way than to be categorised themselves.
