Mainline churches that begin adopting some Pentecostal ways have been considered 'Charismatic Lutheran' etc.

Are there non-Pentecostal Apostolics? What are they?

I ran into a group in Mansfield, Ohio, that called themselves Apostolic Christians. But they were something like a cross between Amish and Lutheran.


Are charismatics calling themselves Apostolic these days?
I am somewhat familiar with the group you reference in your post. Here is a link to some of their teaching, http://www.apostolicchristianchurch.org/index.html

Also the "Apostolic" term has quite broad acceptance in the Catholic Church.

Some Charismatics use the term and it is normally in the context of Apostolic restoration Apostles and Prophets.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
