Hi Thomas
You sai "So it seems to me, that both the Pentecostals and the PRC, in their respective segments of the Church world, are trying to position themselves as the better alternative for those wanting to become “real” Christians."
Yes I think you are right, though with PRC I think this doesn't go far enough. Their published pronouncements as to the utter necessity of denying common grace and the well meant offer and the fact that all other 'churches' are essentially false who are not with them in such rejection testify to this. It is a real pity and rationalism is the baseline cause.
Pentecostalism / Charasmatic Movt. is a bit trickier as it is more of a moving target. Generally though their issue is mysticism and it can go from mild to way out eg you are not a Christian unless you can speak in tongues! Biblical tongues though were such that if what the extremists said were true then there would be no Christians!!
