Denomination-specific TheologyA special subforum where a thread starter can restrict threads to replies by members of a particular denomination only to discuss denomination-specific theology.
kton, I think not at all. I could go on all day about the differences between Pentecostal and Charismatic, all though they have been pretty well summed up.
One that got missed though, is a lot of churches that call themselves Pentecostal tend to favor a more traditional church setting, whereas a Charismatic church will be a little more progressive. It can be one of the biggest differences.

Some people distinguish on the basis of history rather than doctrine. For them, "Pentecostal" refers to denominations that originated around the turn of the 20th C. and believe in "speaking in tongues," while "Charismatic" refers to the Spiritual-gifts renewal movement that began within "traditional" denominations around the 1960s.

Everyone Christian is Charismatic. Grace Gifts is the meaning of Charismatic, so if your saved by Grace rather than the Law of Moses then your Charismatic.
