Pentecostal wasn't in there, so I put non-denom. I guess I qualify to say that since I'm a youth pastor at a non-denominational church :-p

 

(I guess if anyone has any questions about any statement I've just made, I can answer them for the interested, lol)

Isn't Pentecostal similar to the Apostolic Church?

Apostolic churches are a branch of pentecostalism, yes. They are a bit wackier in doctrine.

Pentecostal churches vary a lot in doctrine from the Charasmatic branch which believes gifts of the spirit are for today, but none are more important than one another, and a person may recieve any in any order. Mainline Pentecostalism and Apostolics believe that speaking in tongues are proof of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. However, many Apostolic churches believe that you must speak in tongues to be saved. Additionally, most do not believe in the trinity in the way that mainline Christianity (from Catholics to mainline Pentecostals) believe.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
