I know pastors in both camps. They've told me that charismatic merely means that you don't believe the Gifts have ceased, while Word of Faith means that you have authority from God to speak things into existence. Charismatics can exist in non-charismatic denominations (like charismatic Presbyterians or Methodists), while Pentecostals are Charismatics in their own charismatic denominations. Word of Faith followers are a specific kind of Pentecostal who believe that they can speak their own healing, prosperity, etc into being - as long as they have sufficient faith. Sometimes that faith has to be demonstrated through "seed" offerings or similar things.

Word of Faith is not universally accepted among all Charismatics/Pentecostals, because they don't all think that God's gifts work that way. For instance: Charismatics/Pentecostals might pray and lay on hands for healing, hoping or believing that healing will come. Word of Faith followers might lay on hands, declare that healing has come, and be absolutely 100% convinced that they were healed.

Sorry that I can't provide biblical sources as you requested. But what I shared is how they distinguish one from another here in my area.
