In a sense, all Apostolics are charismatic, but not all charismatic are Apostolic. These blokes are Oneness charismatics and I stand by my assertion that there is more hope for a Trinitarian Pentecostal who lives a life of holiness than there is for the man who holds the truth in unholiness.

I'm still confused as to how they would be labeled Charismatic. Don't agree there. They self-identify, generally, as Pentecostal Holiness or Holiness Pentecostals.
These groups believe:
The Oneness of God (no Trinity)
Baptism in Jesus' Name (no titles)
Spirit baptism (evidenced by speaking in tongues)
Living a life of holiness (more or less in line with traditional Apostolics)
How do all of these similarities with traditional Apostolic Pentecostals automatically classify them as Charismatic? I was simply asking why one might think they do not carry the Apostolic label.
Again, these are Charismatics. There are differences. These aren't Charismatics.
