Sam, I really enjoyed your blog on being a Reformed Charismatic and I identify with your description. Since my conversion many years ago the Holy Spirit became such a reality for me. When Jesus promised to sent the "Paracleet" in Matt 16 he knew that with his assention the time for the Holy Spirit would commence. We live in the time of the Holy Spirit till Jesus return to fetch His bride. The Church as body of Christ should live within the grace of the "Charismata" of the Holy Spirit till that time.
Coming from South Africa I was somewhat shocked to see how little the people in CRC know about the work and the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Christology and the doctrine of God are well develop but the Pneumatology is almost non existend. In teaching the material of the Dunamis Project someone said the Holy Spirit is a bit "Spooky".
I am glad to hear that Synod in the 70's affirmed the existence of the
Charismata today.
