Using four case studies—Charles Taze Russell, Sun Myung Moon, Kelsang Gyatso, and the anonymous founder of the Church of Almighty God—it is argued that these leaders do not share any common set of characteristics by virtue of which they could be described as “charismatic”. To account for their following, one must look to factors extraneous to the leader; Eileen Barker’s notion of “charismatization” is developed here, showing how followers learn to be deferential towards the leader, and how hagiographical accounts are used.

Exponents typically cite biblical verses in support, particularly Mal 3:10: "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
