I pray in tongues regularly. I'm fully Oneness Pentecostal. Everyone I know at my church prays in tongues. I go to a pretty large OP assembly in a pretty large OP organization.
The big difference (technically from what I understand) IS the tongues issue. There are also various doctrines that come with the charismatic movement and also various traditions and practices that traditional Pentecostals (whether they be trinitarian or oneness) don't practice and either simply don't participate in or outright reject and disapprove of. Examples include: Word of Faith doctrine, Prosperity Gospel, the whole "ye are gods" thing, then there's the "Toronto Blessing" manifestations of barking and clucking like chickens (I'm honestly not trying to mock them), which usually doesn't happen in Pentecostal Churches whether those Pentecostal Churches are trinitarian or oneness. Most of these doctrines and manifestations are involved in churches that are involved in the "Third Wave" Movement, NOT ALL Charismatics believe in ALL of these doctrines.
As for standards, I wouldn't accuse anybody of being "charismatic" for not following traditional holiness standards.
