I fundamentally disagree with the "Reformed Charismatic" Churches but soteriologically it's apples and oranges compared to a typical Pentecostal Church. I hesitate to make any more broad brush statements without knowing any more facts. I'll simply state that the "Reformed Charismatic" movement is fundamentally unstable and I would not support it for that reason and it would be wiser to invest in a more stable Church even if it is a small proportion of overall support.
I couldnt agree with you more Rich. I think its great that there are charismatics discovering the doctrines of grace; However I think it is problematic to assume that they are will be stable because they are "Reformed". If it were a church that was Charismatic that was reformed AND reforming that was persuing eventual membership within the PCA then I would say that It would be acceptable to give them financial help. I say lets help them by getting them some WCF's!

I think perhaps we focus more on the symptoms, rather than the problems in the church.
