The Assembly of God is NOT Pentecostal!!!

Yes, I remember that.
According to the stats, 25% of their new converts were baptized, and only were 20% filled with the Holy Ghost.
Personally, I hardly consider a denomination like that to be Pentecostal.
"According to AG Assistant General Superintendent Charles Crabtree, last year only 25 percent of new converts followed Christ in water baptism, with only 20 percent receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
"If we continue this trend," Crabtree states, "in 10 years, we will have a very small percentage of Pentecostals in the Assemblies of God." " http://rss.ag.org/articles/detail.cf..._Source=search

This is where the newfangled "PCI" infatuation will lead Oneness Pentecostals.
Folks, you get what you preach.
It's all a matter of emphasis, or lack thereof.

This info is not some hate-filled attack from an outsider. This is directly from AOG Assistant General Superintendent Charles Crabtree.

Obviously, Charles Crabtree HATES Trinnies.

Yes, obviously. lol
Information like this is exactly why I categorically abhor the term Apostolic.
I am proudly Pentecostal.
I am not ashamed of my Pentecostal experience, worship style or preaching.

I'm feeling a chorus of "I'm A Pentecostal" coming on!

Well thank God they are still Christian - that is at least a bit more important than being "Pentecostal", right?

Are you for real? 
How can a person be considered a Christian without having God's Sprit, or being buried with Him in baptism? 
One cannot be a Christian without experiencing Pentecostal outpouring.
I suppose one could try to imitate Christ without a Pentecostal experience. I suppose they could claim some sort of Christianity. But that experience would not be full.
