One of today’s heroes among charismatics and Pentecostals is William de Arteaga, who is honored (such as on Crouch’s TBN) for having written a book titled Quenching the Spirit in opposition to The Seduction of Christianity. That de Arteaga defends occult visualization, a pre-earth existence of human souls, past-life regressions under hypnosis, and Eastern mysticism’s karma and reincarnation does not inhibit his wide acceptance among charismatics.
