Well the Charismatic movement is not specific to a denomination - there are some charismatic Catholics, and they made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the Orthodox church, which was not well-received, to put it mildly.

That said with regards to the Pentecostal movement I would classify it as Restorationist rather than traditionally Protestant, in that like other Restorationist movements, it claimed to be reviving some practice of the early church which had fallen into abeyance owing to a supposed great apostasy in contradiction of Matthew ch. 16 and without regards for the fact that such charisms had in fact persisted, albeit in a different form from what the Pentecostals anticipated, and not within most Protestant communities.

We have no affiliation with the old mainline protestant denominations, hence why we are labeled "modern."
