I think one can be in response to the question
Can I be a Pentecostal and Charismatic?
Most would probably equate being a Pentecostal as being Charismatic... Here's my view/understanding of being:
A Pentecostal
Spirit-filled, Spirit-led, Speak in tongues, manifestation of the Holy Spirit such as moving in the prophetic and see miracles (divine healings) take place.
Whereas I would identify being Charismatic as a culture or mannerism instead of being a movement. They would be the lively, vibrant bunch of Christians who are more contemporary in the style of worship and possibly preaching also - if compared to that of a mainline church.
I see being a Pentecostal and Charismatic going hand in hand and something that works for the future generations because the move of the Holy Spirit is radical in nature and in effects (if we base on what the Holy Spirit has done in Acts). So, to be radical and vibrant as we are Spirit-Filled seems to make sense to me.
