Yet more confusion: while Pentecostals are all in Pentecostal denominations, charismatics can be found in a great many other denominations that are not predominantly known for being charismatic. These denoms range from Roman Catholic through Anglican/Episcopalian, through Baptist and I suspect even Methodist churches down south of 49

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon
