Everything about Jack Deere totally explained
Dr. Jack Deere is a
charismatic pastor and
theologian from the
USA.
He was an associate professor of
Old Testament at
Dallas Seminary, a bastion of
cessationism, the doctrine that the charismatic
gifts of the Spirit, such as
tongues,
prophecy and
healing, ended at the close of the 1st century. In the late 1980s, he abandoned his earlier theological position, announcing that he'd experienced the charismatic gifts for himself through the ministry of
John Wimber.
From 1988 to 1992 he pastored a
Vineyard church, and pastored a
Presbyterian church in Montana from 1994 to 1996. He remained in Montana for several years while traveling and speaking, and has since moved back to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex where he's pastor of a small church.
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit
Deere's 1993 book
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit details his journey into charismatic Christianity, and argues against the cessationist position that the miraculous gifts of the Spirit have ceased. He deals with the arguments of
B.B. Warfield and
John MacArthur, among others. A companion book,
Surprised by the Voice of God, argues for contemporary prophecy and supernatural revelation. He speaks about his experience of the
Kansas City Prophets and the ministry of
Paul Cain who some, including John Wimber consider to be a Prophet.
