Question

religion

Answer 1

Generally, a charismatic Christian is one who associates or identifies himself with a move of God which began sometime around the early to mid Sixties, and lasted probably about 10-12 years, at least in the United States, during which time millions of inter-denominational Christians, such as Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and various other groups experienced what the Bible refers to as the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is the experience the early disciples of Jesus first experienced on the Day of Pentecost as described in Acts Chapter 2. Many came into a new awareness of the tangible presence of God through manifestations of speaking in tongues, prophesying (speaking under the direct influence of the Holy Spirit), and healings and miracles.
The term Pentecostal generally describes Christians who also avow to the same experience, but trace their association with this back to a Move of God which began in the first decade of the century, and probably reached its boiling point around 1906, being especially associated with the famous Azuza Street Revival. The movement continued to grow and spread around the world, but until the charismatic movement was mostly exclusively the experience of those who associated themselves with certain denominations, mainly the Assemblies of God, Church of God, Four Square and Apostolic Pentecostals.

Answer 2

The differences are minor and mostly not doctrinal, but practical. For awhile the Pentecostals were very strict and condemned things like wearing pants and makeup for girls, and seeing movies for everyone. As time has passed Pentecostals have become more reasonable about the outward signs, and, like Charismatics, have focused more on matters of the heart. Typically Pentecostal churches are more likely to emphasize the afterlife "by and by" and Charismatics are more likely to emphasize success in the here and now. What unites them is a belief in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and a belief that we are to live in this century with all the blessings of first-century Christianity - miracles, power of God, and successful evangelism. Both groups lift their hands in worship. Both groups believe God still heals today. Both groups believe in salvation by grace through faith alone. Both groups believe in a second experience beyond just salvation, called the baptism in the Holy Spirit. (John 20:22 taken with Acts 1:4)

Answer 3

The term "charismatic" is much more of a broad umbrella covering many different groups of believers and could thus refer to any denomination. Pentecostals are a specific denomination within protestant Christianity. The Pentecostals would refer to themselves as charismatic though. Most who call themselves charismatic emphasize the gifts of the Spirit in worship services such as the gifts of healing, prophecy, tongues, and the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" which some say is evidenced by the gift of tongues.

Answer 4

charismatic authority is "resting on devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism or exemplary character of an individual person, and of the normative patterns or order revealed or ordained by him." Charismatic authority is one of three forms of authority laid out in Weber's tripartite classification of authority, the other two being traditional authority and rational-legal authority. The concept has acquired wide usage among sociologists.

Pentecostals believe that one must be saved by believing in Jesus as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sins and to be made acceptable to God. Being descended from Methodism and the Methodist Holiness Movement, Pentecostal soteriology is mostly Arminian rather than Calvinist, believing that the ability to believe in Jesus is a power of the human free will.

Answer 5

Both charismatics and Pentecostals believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, along with the gifts of the Spirit, such as tongues, prophecy, wisdom, discernment. The difference is that charismatics are members of protestant denominations that historically haven't emphasized the baptism in the Holy Spirit, such as Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and even Catholic. Pentecostals are denominations, such as Assemblies of God, who have the baptism in the Holy Spirit, as evidenced by speaking in tongues, as one of their core doctrines.
