Among Mainstream Christians the most active in missionary work are the Charismatic Groups Commonly know as “Born Again” Christians – emphasize the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Stress is laid on reading the Bible
They consider mainstream Christians as not true Christians because they are not “born” of the Holy Spirit

Origins in Pentecostalism (1901 John Wesley and John Fletcher) in which Baptism in the Holy Spirit was stressed, and Glossalia (speaking in tongues) was practiced.

Many Christians are under the impression that Jesus’ miracles were unique to himself and thus constitute evidence for his divinity. However, the majority of Jesus’ miracles are recorded in the Old Testaments as having been done by earlier Prophets.
| Jesus’ miracles | Other prophets' miracles |
|---|---|
| Jesus fed 5,000 people with loaves of bread and two fishes. |
Elisha fed 100 people with twenty barley loaves and a few ears of corn (II Kings 4:44) |
| Jesus healed lepers. | Elisha cured Naaman the leper (II Kings 5:14). |
| Jesus caused the blind to see. | Elisha caused the blind to see (II Kings 6:17&20). |
| Jesus raised the dead. | Elijah did the same (I Kings 17:22). So did Elisha (II Kings 4:34). Even Elisha’s bones could restore the dead (II Kings 13:21). |
| Jesus walked on water. | Moses and his people crossed the dead sea (Exodus 14:22). |
Furthermore, there are also texts in the New Testament which confirm tha t Jesus did not act on his own. Jesus is quoted in John 5:30, as saying: “I can of mine own self do nothing…” and in Luke 11:20, as saying, “But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the Kingdom of God is come upon you.”
In Acts 2:22, Paul writes: “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know…”
