New Wine or Old Deception? A Biblical Perspective of Experience-Based Christiani;

There are many people in the world today who claim an experience called the "Toronto Blessing" is God's way of pouring out His Spirit upon the world. This experience is often accompanied by all kinds of strange physical phenomena including hysterical laughing, shaking, twitching, falling over on the floor, and even behaving and making sounds like animals. This "New Wine" they say, is the first phase of a great revival that is sweeping the world and causing many to become Christians. There are others who believe that extra-biblical experiences are seducing Christians into one of the greatest delusions of all time. They claim Christians are moving away from the authority of the Word of God, and seeking after an experience-based Christianity which is part of the great apostasy that the Bible foretells will occur in the last days. New Wine or Old Deception? traces this current deception back to its roots and provides a biblical solution that directs Christians back to the authority of the Word of God.
