Bro Elpey, Are you using the word, Pentecostal, in a very broad sense? I think of Pentecostal as those who have experienced what the disciples experienced on the day of Pentecost... the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. So even Charismatics would come under my definition of Pentecostal.

NOPE Pentecostal are those who preach Acts 2:38 whether from the PCI or PAJC stance. Teach the Oneness of God and baptize in Jesus Name. Very broad but not that broad.

Okay, so it's not just the experience in the upper room but the message also.

So, for you, only those who are Apostolic are "Pentecostal"? Would it be accurate to say that you don't consider Church of God in Christ, Assembly of God, Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Calvary Chapel and other Pentecostal denominations to be Pentecostal?

I can't answer for the Elder, but i am pretty sure we would agree here.
NO they aren't truly Pentecostal.

This is just plain wierd. Now we are playing word games - nothing short of intellectual dishonesty.
