Mike identifies as charismatic (gifts active today, cessationism rejected) but not hyper-charismatic; he opposes fabricating gifts and "Acts 2.0" theology.

Mike defines charismatic as believing the gifts of the Spirit (tongues, prophecy, word of knowledge, etc.) remain active in the church. He rejects cessationism. He equally rejects hyper-charismatic theology which treats every church gathering as equivalent to peak Acts experiences, and which he sees as pressuring people to fake spiritual gifts.
