Outside of charismatic expression, are there any other differences in beliefs of Pentecostals & Baptists?

There are many types of Baptists.

Calvinist Baptists
Free-will Baptists which may be Arminian
Charismatic Baptists like Pat Robertson on 700 Club.

Like Baptists, Pentecostals believe in full immersion baptism after accepting Christ, not as an infant.

Most Pentecostals are Arminians.

My family are Baptist and Pentecostal except for a few Methodists here and there who have almost all passed on.

Pentecostals generally don't hold to once saved always saved the way Baptists do.

The range of Pentecostal and Baptist beliefs are large. This question could only be answered in a very general sense. (There are Calvinist and Arminian Pentecostals and Baptists).

Charismatic expression would be the primary distinctive. Belieif in Holy Spirit baptism for specific gifts (especially tongues) on top of the general regenerating and saving work of the Spirit that should become an active part of your life would be a second one.

Do Free-will Baptists (who aren't Calvinists) believe in OSAS?

Plus, all that I know of believe in adult full immersion baptism, not infant baptism or sprinkling, except in death beds.

There are honestly too many groups and independent churches identifying themselves as Baptists to know the differences between them all. When I think of Baptists I usually think of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Me too, frankly.

Chiming none, if those differences serve disunity moreso than individual characteristics or gifts.

I'm an Independent Baptist, or fundamental, very strict on doctrine.

Outside of the baptism with Holy Spirit I hold exactly to the tee, the doctrine of Jimmy Swaggart.

That flies in the face of some of my fundamental friends but we get along.

They hold strong to OSAS and I don't, there is to much scripture pointing otherwise.

There are some others in my church that don't hold on to OSAS.

It seems then that many of the same perspectives on salvation by grace can be found among both believers. Charismatic expression is chiefly Pentecostal &, I would think, just not a matter of focus to most Baptists.

Thank you for the replies, if anything I said needs correction, please do. I was just curious; God bless.
