The main problem with the charismatic/pentecostal movement/church today is faith.
Although, their understanding of the Holy Spirit and "filled with the Holy Spirit" is also rather demented ergo exalting ONLY the Holy Spirit (emphasizing on the Holy Spirit) and perhaps unknowingly, themselves, rather than Jesus Christ, eventhough MOST of them are aware that Christ is the center of glorification and that the Holy Spirit has come to testify CHRIST (John 15:26).
Dr. Stephen Tong once said, paraphrasing Augustine: "What they gain in their curiosity will be lost in their pride" in reponse to the question: "What will happen to those who come to the Lord because of signs and miracles?". I wish I could find the direct quote of this.
Hence, the main issue is faith. The Christian faith is not superstitious faith, not self-confident faith, not blind faith, not self-built faith, these are not faith at all (Non Fide); The true faith, fidelity, faithfulness, is based on the word of God, the Truth, the Pormise of God, the Grace of God. A faith that will be a good testimony. Not one that is hypocritical. Hypocritical confession is not faith at all.
I pray that God will forgive my brothers and sisters who are persuaded by this movement of this era, and that they will come back to glorify Christ, and not themselves (whether knowingly or unknowingly). For our Lord Jesus Christ shall lose none which has been predestined and elected. Amen.
