My husband and I are Pentacost and we were also led to the church we attend. The Pentacost religion teaches all the things you mentioned above, as well as speaking in toungues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I cannot rightly say which is better but I went to a Baptist church my whole life until I married, and now I go the a small church here in town. I love the church and would rather go to it than a big Baptist church. Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth!

Well here is something quoted directly from the site of my synod in the Lutheran church regarding the differences if that will help

. What are the main differences between the Missouri Synod and the Pentecostal churches?

A. Perhaps the main difference between The Lutheran Church--and Pentecostal churches is that Pentecostal churches tend to emphasize the importance of personal and spiritual "experiences" (such as "baptism in the Holy Spirit" and speaking in tongues), while the LCMS emphasizes the importance and centrality of the word and promises of God in Holy Scripture, which remain true and valid regardless of our personal "feelings" or "experiences."

I have seen some "pentecostals" use the term spirit-filled
to think of themselves more highly than other christians.
This is true to an extent in every faction of God's Church.
God's word does not make the gift of tongues any more special than the others.
I do belive that emotional worship services like are held in "pentecostal" and "spirit-filled"
churches are the truest forms of worship, but sometimes emotions and the leading of the Spirit
can get mixed up by some.
