The one thing Pentecostal churches are not doing is, bow and speak to IDOLS, pray to their hand-made moulded god as Catholics do.

CATHOLICS ARE IDOL WORSHPPERS!!!

Catholics bow to jesus. The pentecostal I went to bowed to their pastor and standing up when he passes their front. Lol

Interesting thread. grin

Unfortunately, all the people in this thread refer to themselves as Christians, yet see the way they curse one another.


TunjiBalogun, I know you will call me demented, unintelligent and mischievous like you have been doing to the rest, but you are delusional!

These things you posted are Biblical practices, not Catholic practices. So Pentecostals are not copying Catholics.

Conversely, would it not even be great to see unity and synchronisation between two denominations? Where Pentecostals see something they like in Catholic and copy it, and vice versa, instead of this satanic competition.

You're the satan abi? This guy sef shocked

Thank God you said their G/o pix and they were not worshipping it just like some churches worship fake Jesus and Mary portraits. If you ur foundation had allowed u to know bible you will understand that anointing oil has been effective in both old and contemporary pentecostal church.
They were literally worshiping it, whenever the man passed in their front they stood up Nd bowed like their were bowing to some tiny gods. We were connected to their headquarters in Abuja and I saw it life

They celebrate their dead mother's post numinous birthdays and yet they tell me not to talk about mother Mary shuuum. My dear, just check out zion prayer outreach and follow the page on Facebook or YouTube so dt u see wonders happening in the Catholic church. Pastors and people that left the church are coming back sef.
Thanks man, one love cool

You mean the Bible hates Mary? Or Jesus hates Mary?

One verse in the Bible where Jesus taught us about prayers and he said we should pray to Mary? Just one verse.
You that's typing is an example of hate to the mother of Christ. Catholics honor Mary because she's the mother of Jesus. Respect her at least and stop the idol worship you talking. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Nobi me write am. Go find where e dey for Bible. Mind you, am not religious, I just do the right thing. Good afternoon.

So you are not blessed? Another typical of quoting Bible verses carelessly out of context.

Learn from below statements!!


As Jesus then started to preach to the crowd, a woman.called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you!” (Luke 11:27 ).

Jesus replied to her, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it” (Luke 11:28 ).


Do you notice the statement that came out from the mouth of Jesus Christ and the one that came out from a woman like you?

If you can't spot the difference, then forget it.

I understand the type of "jesus" you bow to.

And then, you kneel and pray to a dead mortal, sculpture Mary to mediate on your behalf when there's ONLY ONE MEDIATOR between the Father and the Son. undecided

1. The reason why the Catholic Church has several service sections is because of her large population. Hence as the population of a Pentecostal church increases, they also have no choice than to hold several sections to accommodate their members.
2. There was no camera during the days of Jesus. Also Jesus was not a King or VIP during his time. Hence no one preserved his statue.
There is no evidence that the images in Catholic churches are really those of Jesus and Mary. Some of the images does not even look alike.
Moreover, Jesus Christ said that those who worship God should do so in spirit and truth. Hence we do not need images of Jesus, Mary or a Pastor in a church. We only need the presence of the Holy Spirit.
3. I agree with you that many Pentecostal churches have different view of the usage of oil and the taking of Holy Communion .
I think they can learn one or two things from the Catholic Church in this regard.


I'm Catholic, and I think you are right, most Catholic don't even know that they are not supposed to pray to those images/ pictures
Whether the pictures were real or not, decorative or not
Same with Pentecostal churches, hanging the pictures of general overseer and their spouses in the church or house, just like in Catholics, it started as decorative adornment, then members will altimately start idolizing such images/ pictures.

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.

Werey, na winner you go.

Catholics worship Jesus whereas pentecostals worship their pastors and anal hole of their fellow man. Very disgusting cheesy grin angry grin
Re: What I Witnessed In A Popular Pentecostal Church by Okpetruth(m): 2:17pm On Sep 13, 2022
Catholic did not put in place anything other than the Bible teaches. The Bible taught us about ordination of church leaders such as bishop, pastor, evangelist and so forth. APOSTLE
PAUL ORDAINED BISHOPS Anointing oil is from the old testament read your Bible very well before coming to the public to air your Ignorance. Pentecostalism is mainly about not bowing to images, not having the image of Mary and son in church or preaching what the Bible didn't ask. READ YOUR BIBLE YOURSELF! because Catholics are not verse with the Bible. They believe in printed bulletin made by man and doctrines concocted by pope.
