History
Modern
Few modern Adventist individuals and churches have charismatic leanings, or practice speaking in tongues, after coming into contact with its practices such as in the "Holy Flesh movement" in Indiana around the turn of the 19th century which Ellen White quickly rebuked."[11] Some claim they see evidence in some teachings on holiness by medical doctor John Harvey Kellogg, and Jones and Waggoner of 1888 fame.[12] Jon Paulien describes "the Montanists regarded as heresy, early charismatics who believed that every Christian was as inspired as the apostles or the Scriptures. The focus on the Spirit as the key to church life is now mirrored by some in Adventist circles as well."[13]
In September 1999 "Discerning the Spirit" conferences were held in the Australian part of the church.[14]
Adventist churches with charismatic leanings are very rare and controversial within the denomination, and rejected on the whole.[15] New Life Celebration church was one of the earliest Adventist "celebration churches".[16] Some such churches have had tension with the Adventist leadership,[17] and some have left the Adventist denomination. Retired Australian Adventist pastor, evangelist and former official of the Greater Sydney Conference, E. Bruce Price has criticized the churches, which he says were introduced to the world Adventist church in the 1980s.[18][19]
According to Adventist historians Bull and Lockhart, "Adventist worship is generally restrained and carefully organized".[20]
