Charismism or the Charismic movement is a movement within various Abjurant and Bishopal Hosian denominations that emphasises the direct relationship between human beings and God especially through baptism. The Charismic movement is extremely diverse and operates across denominational lines.
The movement traces its origins to a variety of Abjurant churches prominent in North Seleya in the 34th century and an increasing focus on the importance of the doctrine of "salvation through faith alone". Charismic churches place a particular focus on the manner in which baptism and faith in Eliyahu allows an individual to utilise "spiritual gifts" including speaking in tongues and divine healing. Some trace the origins of the movement to the Good Charismic Church.
Charismic Churches[]
Within the Charismic tradition there exist hundreds of individual churches and local communions, especially in Lodamun, Likatonia and Baltusia as well as parts of Luthori, Dorvik and Kazulia. The largest single communion of churches is the International Fellowship of Disciples, which includes various Charismic Churches in Baltusia, Charismic Churches in Lodamun and the Reformed Hosian Church (the Charismic church in Likatonia with around two million adherents). In the early 5160's Charismic Churches were an important part of the Lodamese Awakening, a revival of Hosianism in Lodamun, rapidly becoming the largest single grouping of Hosians in the country.
Membership[]
