I think you are too. You know exactly what is meant by the term in context, and we know that the religious world at large considers anyone who speaks in tongues "charismatic."
But this is us, not the religious world we are talking to.
So spare us the vocabulary lesson.

Yeah, I do know essentially what you mean... Are you aware of how stupid you look to the rest of the planet when you say things like this, though??
I mean, seriously, think what the other inhabitants of earth would think of us if they found out we were about to split over TV advertising in the year 2007...
Sometimes we shoot ourselves and our attempts at reaching people in the foot, and this whole "charismatic is an insult" thing is part of it...
OH YEAH!! Plus there's the white elephant in the room of explaining why there are 24 times (at least) more people on earth who are Charismatic and spirit filled than who you consider not-Charismatic and spirit filled... I can't imagine that would go over well with the layman apostolic....
