I believe the Church of God considers itself to be Pentecostal.  Maybe
the question as stated earlier wasn't talking about church names or org
names.  Maybe the question was refering to individuals.

Well, the Feast of Pentecost(or first fruits) may have been chosen for a
reason.  It was the start.  Get past it.  The disciples were being
static.  Then after the HG came they acted(hence the name of the book -
ACTS).  I submitt for your thought to be Pentecostal is to wait(which
gives time for the bad things mentioned), but to be Apostolic is to be
active(no time for the bad stuff).  The name on the sign isn't important
but the spirit inside.

What was harsh about that?

BTW, the question was intended to get a response from deep inside.  Then
maybe generate some thought as to where we are at now and where we are
going.
