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.
