Were the Montanists the first Charismatics? Centuries before modern Pentecostalism, a Christian movement arose around prophecy, visions, ecstatic worship, female prophets, and claims of a new work of the Holy Spirit.
In this video, I explore who the Montanists were, what they believed, why the early church rejected them, and just how closely their controversial practices resemble those found in modern Charismatic Christianity.
