Interesting point.
Many people who go to "pentecostal" or charismatic churches are not Spirit-filled. For example, a survey of Asemblies of God "new converts" over a 10 year period showed that only 25% of them got baptized and only 20% received the Holy Ghost.
The AG's own Superintendent has said "If we continue this trend, in 10 years, we will have a very small percentage of Pentecostals in the Assemblies of God."
Theres a link to the survey...
HERE.
The percentage of true "Spirit filled" people in Charismatic and Trinitarian Pentecostal churches is much lower than in Apostolic churches.
