Thank you. This is new to me. Any insight on whether there are standards for the translation (i.e. a known language or independent verifiability of translation?)

It has always seemed unusual to use the term "charismatic" to describe what seems like "showy" worship. Probably an association of "charisma" with more understated leadership qualities such as rhetorical skills, courage, grace under pressure, etc.

(Of course cottas and cassocks and incense could also be construed (but only by heathens, of course) as showy!)

BTW. I attend an AMiA Church, but our pastor is far more like John Henry Newman than Benny Hinn! lol

To my knowledge there are none. But that is only my knowledge; I am not a Charismatic. My knowledge of same is quite poisoned by a bad experience; I do not want to go there, so I will not comment further even though I know good people who are Charismatics, and Christian.
