Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

Could someone supply me with a list of similarities and differences?

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

Well, for one thing they're both spelled slightly different.

Other then that, I can't think of anything really.

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

It all depends. It used to be Pentecostals were stronger on holiness. Their foundation teachings are pretty much the same. Pentecostals used to believe in tarrying for the Holy Spirit while most Charismatics believed in receiving by faith.

I was being someone sarcastic (surprise surprise) in my first post but the AoG consider themselves Pentecostal.

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

Depends on who is defining it. In the churches I grew up in, Pentecostals believed in tongues, and had the outward standards.... Charismatics believed in tongues, without the outward standards.

But others would define it differently.

Why?

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

Many Charismatics do not believe tongues is the only sign one has received the indwelling Holy Spirit, while still accepting tongues as an active gift for the church today...

...but the same can now be said for many Pentecostals - Oneness and Trinitarian.

Pentecostal music tends to be either hymns, country or gospel. At least in my experience. The Charismatics I believe were inspired to create a more Biblical kind of praise and worship style. I would say that the Pentecostals have started to catch up with the praise and worship music. Even some of the Evangelicals have come on board with it.

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

Both have moves of the Holy Spirit, both have active Gifts of the Spirit.

God doesnt discreminate between the 2. You will see great praise and worship from both sides.

hear is the declaration of faith my old trinitarian church

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

that can give you some comparisons

Re: Pentecostals Vs. Charismatics
 

The fundemental teachings of Pentecostal and Charismatic groups are very similar. Except when you factor in ONENESS PENTECOSTALS.
