Continuationist.
Although I am now a proud and firm believer in the continuation of the Holy Spirit's charismatic gifts operating in the modern Church, I wasn't raised that way.
I was brought up in Baptist and Nazarene churches. The Southern Baptists I attended as a child I'm sure were more or less fully cessationist in their views on the spiritual gifts. The Nazarene church we were a part of were "hesitant" to the gifts; I recall the pastor there being on the fence about the modern-day tongues, and he felt there must always be an interpreter for any glossolalic outburst, whether in individual prayer or not. We drifted into a Full Gospel Baptist (or Bapticostal) fellowship for a few years, and they fully embraced the gifts.
I've been Pentecostal for the past two years.
However, I must say continuationists aren't found in just Pentecostal/Charismatic movements, but in other mainline denominations, too.
