For many people, when you say 'nondenominational', its usually in reference to a 'church service' that is broadly Christian, and not specific to any one denomination. A Christian service that would be acceptable to a Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Mormon, etc.

If you are using to refer to a specific church as being 'non denominational', its hard to say where in the spectrum of christian belief it falls: from fire and brimstone bible thumpers to laid-back sixties hippie types and anything in between.

I don't disagree, but formerly "charismatic" groups are hijacking the term to get away from the "crazies!"

And this surprises you?

Its little different from when the socialists hijacked the term 'liberal' from those who originally used it. (said original, or 'classical liberals' are now usually known as 'libertarians). And now you have some liberals today trying to hijack the term 'progressives' (tho that term hasn't been in use for awhile, so few are complaining...).

I find it funny when reading about the so called 'restorationist' movement in the Christian church that arouse around the end of the last century. It has such a great name, making one thing that you are 'restoring' Christianianity to its original form that it as strayed from. Sadly, in most cases its really about people creating new nonsense out of whole cloth and claiming its the original Christianity. Go figure.
