What is the difference between pentecostal and charismatic churches?

[Edit]

Pentecostals are an organized movement: there are specific denominations (such as the Assemblies of God) that officially codify Pentecostal belief (in a nutshell, basic evangelical/fundamentalist beliefs plus an emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit, through miracles, healings, speaking in tongues, etc). Charismatics are Christians who hold Pentecostal beliefs but belong to churches that are theologically non-Pentecostal. Examples include Oral Roberts (United Methodist), Pat Robertson (Southern Baptist), the late Brian Hathaway (Plymouth Brethren), Bill Subritsky (Anglican), Larry Christenson (Lutheran), Jack Deere (Presbyterian), and Francis MacNutt (Roman Catholic).
