Pentecostal vs Charismatic

I believe the main Christian experiences are three....
1. Salvation - If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
2. Sanctification - This is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication. - 1 Thessalonians 4:3
3. Holy Spirit - Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? - Acts 19:2
Spiritual Gifts - My personal beliefs are that they are all unique to the believer. Some can cook, clean, preach, teach, prophesy, evangelize, heal the sick, speak in tongues, play a musical instrument... Whatever. I do not believe every spiritual gift is the same. This is what makes special speakers exciting... What good thing has God put on their heart?
Charismatic - I have sat in services wondering... This people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men. - Isaiah 29:13
Ideal Spirituality - We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. - 2 Corinthians 4:7
