John MacArthur kicked off the second day of Strange Fire with an exhortation to "test the spirits" of the charismatic movement. He explained that true spiritual warfare is a fight for the mind, and that "for the charismatic movement to succeed," it has to "turn discernment into iniquity." Preaching out of 1 John 4, he highlighted several biblical principles for testing the spirits, focusing primarily on the Holy Spirit's role in exalting Christ. By contrasting the biblical truth about the Person and work of Jesus with the spurious version proclaimed by many charismatic leaders, John made the clear point that a true movement of the Holy Spirit wouldn't preach an inaccurate Christ.
