I should have made it clear why I posted this here.
In my years of attending Oneness Pentecostal churches, whenever someone spoke in tongues for the entire congragation to hear, someone else would give the interpretation.
Attending this charismatic church now and this is the first time I have ever seen the person who is speaking in tongues to deliever a message from the Lord give the interpretation of that message.
1Cr 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

Every body believes in standards. The gay pride nude parades have standards. The cashier at mc Donalds has standards. The soldier has standards.
The tattood basketball player has standards. Sagging trousers are an example of standards. Now that We realize everyone has standards, the question is the source of standards.
On conservative dress, those that have liberal standards usually drift to calling the standards "traditions" instead of modesty or biblical before they reject them. Wimbleton has standards. All Tennis players wear white. The snack is strawberries and cream.
Augusta County club didn't admit blacks before 1990 and today doesn't grant women membership.
Standards are everywhere. Rebellious people strive against standards. Some say standards from the pulpit are a form of abuse.

"Standards" are one thing, legalistic hogwash bashed over peoples heads as a method of control and subjugation are quite another. People confuse standards set by man with Holiness demanded by God all the time.
God's idea of Holiness is more lofty than we can imagine and even then most bun sportin, dress wearin, holier than thous fail miserably to measure up because they have traded the love of God for the laws of man!!
Wow, im soapboxin today!!!

Another difference between Charismatic and Pentecostal is the Charismatics are more likely (in my experience) to spend time praying in tongues. Many Pentecostals dont believe one can just pray in tongues when they desire.
Also Charismatics are more likely to sing in tongues.

Well, the Bible is the doctrine. You don't have it validate a church, the church must go with the Bible. If it comes from humanism, it will lead to confusion. Hunger is where answers come from. One of my theories is that there is a doctrine for every belief of man. Ironically there is only one doctrine that is correct.
Strange fact, and proof- Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witness, Evangelicals; a least 3 of these are false doctrine.
