Well - (He's says knowing it could be a very loaded question) - the quick answer is no. Not in any traditional use of the word. Although being unashamedly reformed, - I think the grace of the doctrines leads one to be more than a little open to the moving of God through the "charisma", the gifts that He gives His people! 

I suppose I would align myself with a John Piper or CJ Mahaney - who would both describe themselves as reformed & charismatic. Whereas that might be an odd grouping for many of us - so would Baptist and reformed 20 years ago wouldn't it?, (which I also am).

Cheers!

My sin was the reason
The Jews, and Romans were the means
But God was the Cause of Christ's death - What a Savoir!

  As a matter of interest would you describe yourself as charismatic?
