I wasn't quit sure what you meant by spiritualism. If you meant like New Age or what.
I looked the national spiritualism's main site up and YES I would say it is going against
Christianity because the Bible forbids communicating with the dead, astro projection, astrology and some other things.
I don't think 'don't communicate with the dead' means telling your grandma that passed away that you miss her type stuff. We do that more for our peace of mind, emotional health, ......
I believe there is something to the spiritual world and we can be more in tune with our spirit to some degree with some spiritual -experiences- but many are forbidden and you have to be careful not to cross the line. Like the Bible says prophecy yet we are not to predict the future. We are not to let astrology dictate our lives yet the whole universe is scientifically coded with what is basically numerology that can help us understand our selves and everything around us better. I heard one time that for everything God created the devil has a perverted version and that I believe applies to the spiritual things as well.

If you are referring to what NOhelp4u addressed, run from it as a Christian. If you are asking about Spirit-filled, Holy Spirit churches, then Jesus said in John 14: Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, obey[d] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[e] who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.[f] 18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. 19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. 20 When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”

jemz2185,

From personal choice I am a non-religious, non-Christian, spiritual person. I’m not keen on spiritualism - people who like to talk to the dead. I’m into relaxation and meditation which helps keep me grounded. We are all different and some of us are still exploring and discovering what and who we are. My motto is live and let live. There is space enough for us all. No one is to blame for what they believe or what they follow. We are all driven by something at the core of our being and we must be true to ourselves above all else.
