Though I wouldn’t self identify with the label Charismatic, I certainly believe in what are commonly referred to as the ‘gifts’ and have observed the tradition close up in recent years. With all this said, the recent events have highlighted to me once again that the charismatic tradition needs to take a long hard look at it’s self. Lakeland was not a one-off mistake and drop of guard but as with most things of this nature, a symptom of a wider mentality held within this corner of the church.
With this in mind I found my way to the Ceruleum Sanctum Blog which has a two part series on the revisions which the charismatic church (and indeed all of us who would identify as believers in the gifts) need to look at, the full 2 part series can be found here (1) and here (2) and are well worth the read but I have also 
copied the summaries below:
Problem: In our rush to regain a proper pneumatology, today’s charismatics abandoned a proper Christology.
Solution: We need to get the focus back on Jesus.
Problems: Too much of the charismatic movement is self-centered. People rush around looking for a spiritual fix for selfish reasons. Too many are obsessed with more power. Too many leaders lack even the most basic humility.
Solution: Get the cross back into the picture.
Problem: The movement is awash is Old Testament rituals or theology that were fulfilled in Jesus.
Solution: Get back to the New Testament and its New Covenant.
Problems: Discernment of any kind is sorely lacking at all levels within the movement. Many charismatic teachers craft entire theologies from disconnected or lone passages of Scripture.
Solution: Build a holistic worldview by teaching the Bible from cover to cover, not from topic to topic.
Problems: Too many charismatics are more interested in what they can get than what they can give. Also, we love to talk about taking dominion over the kingdom of darkness, but we forget the primary means by which we cripple the Enemy’s purposes.
Solution: We need to be drilled on the Great Commission.
Problem: The charismatic movement is a cult—of celebrity.
Solution: Time for the old guard, who failed to guard what they were entrusted with, to get off the stage.
Problem: We let the miraculous enthrall us.
Solution: We need to be more discerning and less surprised by the miraculous.
Problem: The charismatic movement is obsessed with novelty.
Solution: We must understand that there is nothing new under the sun.
Problem: We continue to tolerate the aberrations of the past, the worst excesses of the charismatic movement, digging them up repeatedly for each new generation after they were long buried.
Solution: It’s time to grow up and face today. In many cases, the good old days weren’t all that good. Wrong doesn’t get right over time.
