In all instances the baptize in Jesus Name. In some instances that and infilling of the Holy Ghost is vital.
In some instances, those things are far less important than the number of people walking thru the door.
I do know the players.. and I know a few who walk in their circles even better. I have good friends... well they were good friends...evidently I started smelling bad or something... who I started ministry with, who were committed to the Apostolic message... that now are really supercool and when you go to their church and make the mistake of getting close to acting Pentecostal, you are ushered off to a side room. don't want to freak the natives out etc.
Its a sad sad thing when I see guys that I worked alters with. Guys whos anointing I once knew. Guys that I know, they know the power of God active in their lives. and now?
more Baptist than Pentecostal. more Methodist than Holiness. More Business Decision than God decision.
More likely to ask a person if they have made a "decision for Christ" than they are to ask them have they received the Holy Ghost since they repented.
It breaks my heart. I have never been a hard liner. im not looking for lockstep purity in understanding, doctrine, or methodology. But man alive some guys I have spent time with. serious time with. working alters and preaching and teaching.... well... I didn't change.
