Charismatic (movement)
Charismatic (movement). Christian belief that the Holy Spirit imparts particular gifts and inspiration, which have visible and internally recognizable consequences. This movement of the Holy Spirit in the historic denominations was characterized by experience of ‘baptism in the Holy Spirit’ or ‘second baptism’ and by a new informality in liturgical worship, anticipation of the Second Coming of Christ, and renewed emphasis on the present reality of the gifts of the Spirit, especially healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues (glossolalia).
