Don't feel bad there are others among the UPCI and even the Oneness scholar circuit that have fallen wayside.
You want to call yourself a doctor as a chimney sweeper that's your right.

I don't see that it's necessary to make the distinction between Pentecostal and Charismatic. If they believe in charismata and call the name at baptism they are OP.
As to French. I don't think he used his personal definition per say. In fact, I was there when D B questioned French on this. As I recall French said his research did not verify beyond: 1. how the baptism was performed and 2. whether speaking in tongues was seen as evidence of receiving the Spirit.
He did NOT question the soteriology nor "standards" or other doctrines.
