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.

They are unholy in living and probably lost. Loose living is not conducive to spirituality and holiness. At least a meth whore, in her lucid moments, can be convinced of her need for salvation and holiness There isn't anything you can say or do to convince the people you describe of their need for holiness. Therefore, they are probably unsaved. Probably damned and drowned in deception. God is able to save these folks, but I don't know how He will work these folks, along with all other charismatics, into His Eternal Kingdom.
