Sometimes we shoot ourselves and our attempts at reaching people in the foot, and this whole "charismatic is an insult" thing is part of it...
OH YEAH!! Plus there's the white elephant in the room of explaining why there are 24 times (at least) more people on earth who are Charismatic and spirit filled than who you consider not-Charismatic and spirit filled... I can't imagine that would go over well with the layman apostolic....

I find it almost gratifying that I look stupid to you.
Do you comprehend the fact that we are not communicating with "the rest of the planet" here? This is an Apostolic message board. We have our own vernacular among ourselves.
Terms like: "get the victory," "pray through," "shockamoo" and others wouldn't mean much to the rest of the planet either. But again, context is important. We are talking among ourselves, not trying to communicate with the rest of the planet.

Two requests:
1.How many people have you and are you reaching to qualify you as an expert?
2.Show me in my post where I said the term "charismatic" was an expert.

There are lots of Hindus in the earth, and Buddhists and Muslims. More than all the Christian denominations and beliefs put together. Your point?
The average Apostolic layman is not stupid, and knows that there are more AoG, Charismatics, trinitarian Pentecostals, etc. Catholics are the most numerous of all Christians. Therefore?
Larry, you have no point.
