I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though grin grin

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.

Very valid, also to add, catholic wear rosary Pentecostals now wear bangle. Catholic says Rev Father and Sister, Pentecostal is Daddy and Mummy

I see most of these pentecostal churches as business centres, how can some body be saying in "the name of "(the God of their General overseer) when they are supposed to say the most high God, anybody can easily wake up one morning and decide to open church and make himself the general overseer grin They are now copying the Catholic Church, most of them even dress like reverend fathers and even do Consecration of bread and wine too.
But they will never accept that they are actually copying.

Incase of any fool that will come to my mention and talk rubbish, I'm ready for you

Those guys doing all those copy copy,especially those one that wear those priestly regalia, watch them well.. Most of them are fake!

Surah 18:60 And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his young assistant, “I will never give up until I reach the junction of the two seas, even if I travel for ages.”

Where are these seas located?

surah 2:67 “Allah commands you to sacrifice a cow Surah 2:69 It should be a bright yellow cow

allah's choice of sacrificial cow is top-notch. A bright yellow cow. So, all those killing cows in Nigeria are wasting their time cos they are not bright yellow cows.

Pentecostal churches are business centres.
The mode of operation by the church depends on the discretion and opinion of the pastor how best to get customers.

surah 56:66 We have been penalized.

surah 56:66 We have been penalized.

By who?

Did you notice that allah is a polytheistic god "we"?

Surah 56 vs 57 It is We Who created you. Will you not then believe ˹in resurrection˺?
Surah 56 vs 57 We have created you, then why would you not confirm it? (why do Muslims find it hard to confirm it for them?)

Surah 56:64 Is it you or We Who make them grow?

surah 56:61 Had We so wished, nothing could have hindered Us from replacing you by others like yourselves, or transforming you into beings you know nothing about.

surah 56:64 Is it you or We Who make them grow?

surah 56:60 It is We Who ordained death upon you and We are not to be frustrated.

surah 56:72 Did you make its tree grow or was it We Who made it grow?

Since the creator of man is WE, and he described himself as CreatorS in the noble quran, is it now safe to refer to Allah as THEY? Recall that he asked Muslims to CONFIRM IT. Do you confirm it?

surah 56:59 Do you create a child out of it, or are We its creator[b]s[/b]?

So, "they", Allah, the creatorS, create children out of emitted sperm.

Is this true?

surah 2:73 So We instructed, “Strike the dead body with a piece of the cow.” This is how ˹easily˺ Allah brings the dead to life, showing you His signs so that you may understand.

This is how allah performs resurrection.

John 11:41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. John 11:43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”


As a human, in which of these two ways would you love to be resurrected, by STRIKING your dead body with red bloodied cow meat or by respectfully calling YOUR NAME and have you majestically walk back to life?

The most ignoramus ever created..... Oyedepo has been bearing the title Bishop for ages


Idahosa, died as an archbishop and there are so many bishop like TD Jake but you only knew that today... What does that say about your person


Coming to communion, many churches started with it because it is not catholic tradition but a commandment of Jesus Christ, himself


The portrait you hang in your church is not that of Jesus but an artistic work by a renowned artist.... Then there is the actor whose pictures sells in your church but is not even a member but just played the role of Jesus


In the nutshell, you have only proved your ignorance of the scripture on a global forum

surah 2:87 Indeed, We gave Moses the Book and sent after him successive messengers. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit. Why is it that every time a messenger comes to you ˹Israelites˺ with something you do not like, you become arrogant, rejecting some and killing others?

Often, you hear Nigerian Muslims insulting the Holy spirit. Unbeknownst to them, it is part of their doctrine. The Quran attests to the miraculous birth of Christ While some Muslims go on denying the Christ. They do not read their quran. They know nothing in it. they are always shocked when I show them. Rather than submitting to the quran, they tweak it. Which means they are more powerful that their quran and they have utter disrespect for it. This is why Arab do not consider them real muslims. They do not understand the words in Arabic. they do not read and meditate, they only recite it as a poem.

surah 21:91 And ˹remember˺ the one who guarded her vagina, so We blew into her our spirit, making her and her son a sign for the worlds.

From the two surahs above, you can see that allah uses "I" and "we" interchangeably to prove to you that he is polytheist. Notwithstanding, You can clearly see that allah could stoop as low as blowing his spirit into a woman's vagina rather than by providential outworking as the Bible states.
