pastor, the “saint’s” ministry was characterized by “signs andwonders.”e growing emphasis on Catholic spirituality inevangelical and charismatic circles is dangerous in theextreme, but it is the outgrowth of the ecumenical philosophywhich has torn down the walls of separation between manyProtestants and Baptists and the Roman Catholic Church.Aer the sermon, the Vineyard speaker gave an invitationfor the people to come forward to receive personal ministryby the workers. He first led the congregation in repeatingsilently to themselves, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy onme.” He said, “Receive his presence that is coming upon you.”He said, “Holy Spirit, I pray for your merciful presence to reston each of us.” e people were urged to pray, “Lord Jesus,have mercy on me a sinner,” but the gospel of the death,burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ was never given.ere was no explanation of why sinners can receive mercyor what sin is or what it means to receive mercy. Nothing wasclarified; all was vague spirituality. A visiting Roman Catholicwould have interpreted the invitation within the context ofhis sacramental gospel and would doubtless have “receivedJesus” again just as he has been taught to do repeatedly, butwithout coming to the once-for-all confidence and surety ofbiblical salvation.Many people went forward, but I did not observe thetraditional charismatic phenomena such as spirit slaying andshaking. ose were typical at the Anaheim Vineyard in the1990s, but it appears that such things are no longer the normfor regular Sunday services. ere weren’t any signs andcertainly no wonders that day.For more about Wimber and the Vineyard see “David Ruis”in this Directory.Worship CentralSee “Alpha Course” and “Tim Hughes” in this Directory.418
