For the first 4-5 years of my Christian walk I was a Charismatic. I was one of the second group that you talked about "sincere but sincerely wrong". I have friends who came out of that movement, who were also in the second category.
However, I know others who are still in the movement, who I believe are in the second category. I however believe that many of them are true Christians nun the less and pray that one day God will to reveal them (as He did to me) the truth about the Charismatic movement.

One thing that I think needs to be stated, is that there are many Charismatics who believe in the doctrines of grace, in fact the first two Calvinists I ever met, were also Charismatics. They were an old couple, who as far as I can tell lived out their lives as models to how we should all live as Christians. I have fond recollections of them.

I also think it is important to realize that when the word "Charismatic" is used, it does not necessarily mean that all have fallen prey to faith healers and the like.
For instance, the last Charismatic Church I went to over 20 years ago, seemed more like your average Baptist Church than a Pentecostal Church.

I mention all that, with the hope that I am not taken to mean I am defending certain Charismatics. For I know that no matter how sincere some Charismatics are, they are still sincerely wrong.
I hope you understand my point.
