The end times are prophesied to be a time of great deception; however Christians seem to feel that they are somehow immune to it. Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it..."
What we have emerging within the Church today is no different than before. Those who do not study Church history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. I am living proof of it.
I experience the baptism of the Holy Ghost by fire early in my Christian walk. I know it was a genuine experience, and not one born of praise and not emotionalism. As I've been studying the Charismatic movement and the falsehoods it has adopted, I still wondered about the Holy Ghost experience I had. The mainline church vehemently denies it and calls it false, but never has an explanation for it.
Kundalini, an Eastern concept of enlightenment, is the counterfeit for the true Holy Spirit. Today we have a new gnostic awakening that is taking place all over the Christian. It is being called various names, but it is no different than the early practices once experienced by the heretical early Gnostic Church.
The Kundalini awakening is referred to as a Serpent-Fire that lies asleep and awakens in an up-rushing and down-pouring streams of fire." The experience is given many names in other cultures, and is known by the Hindus, the Dakota Indians, the Hurons, the Algonquian, the African Sotho, the Bantu, and the list goes on.
The site goes onto describe the chakras, which they believe are centers of force and consciousness located within the inner bodies of man. There are seven chakras, with the 5th, 6th, and 7th tied into divine love, divine sight, and illumination/godliness. All of which are experienced by those who are filled with the Holy Ghost by fire.

These videos do not speak directly to the Baptism experience, rather that of the other manifestations of the Spirit. I see no difference between the two, just the degree of manifestation.

From a New Age website, the Kundalini experience is described as: "the capacity to ‘wash’ away our deepest tensions, eliminate our misunderstandings (lessons and beliefs) about our true nature, and to expand the flow of creative energy and consciousness within us. It is the seat of ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE."
The site goes onto describe the chakras, which they believe are centers of force and consciousness located within the inner bodies of man. There are seven chakras, with the 5th, 6th, and 7th tied into divine love, divine sight, and illumination/godliness. All of which are experienced by those who are filled with the Holy Ghost by fire.

That seat of absolute knowledge is the driving force behind the Charismatic movement. This is why the Charismatics feel they are elite compared to the rest of the Church.
The YouTube below is the second half of the video I posted the other day. I have provided a link to part 1, for those who view this at a later date.
