To a first degree approximation, is the following correct? Reformed Theology: Spiritual gifts ceased after the apostolic age. The gifts were important to setup the initial church, but after the initial church was setup, they were no longer necessary. Pentecostalism: People who believe that spiritual gifts are still being handed out. Furthermore, upon openly declaring this belief, they either voluntarily or involuntarily left their (cessation of holy gifts) church to a (holy gifts still exist) church. Charismatic: People who believe that spiritual gifts are still being handed out. However, they stay with their church rather than leave. ## Context Somewhat confused after reading the different Wikipedia entries on Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement . ## Note: Contrary to previous questions; I'm actually not looking for resources; I'm merely trying to understand the distinctions when people throw these terms around.
