No!
Martin Luther started Protestant reformation from Roman catholism at 1517. That is, about 14 centuries after Mary and other saints of her time must have died.
The bottomline is, Protestants are still part of the church, only that they have let down most catholic traditions and move on.

Ubenedictus:
weytin do u, y u Neva go Church

Empredboy:
please always do

FriendofGod:


Both the Catholic Church and the other churches are false churches. The Catholic Church is the Whoree of Babylon mentioned in the Book of Revelation and it is a pity that the traditions of the evil Catholic Church is what is called Christianity today. Your Church has turned the Bible on its head and sadly the rest of the Christian world follows sheepishly.

MrMcJay:


Do you know Deeper Life, MFM and some pentecostals doesn't celebrate the same Christmas you mentioned?
The same Deeper Life doesn't celebrate birthdays. Are you aware of that?

Now, you're asking what I know about love? Lol!

Guy, just forget. It's too early to be arguing over nothing.

Since you're happy with what you do, I don't have a problem with that. I'll only have a problem with you if you're unhappy and you keep doing it

INDUSTRIALFAN:
nothing o...

Empredboy:
you said Catholics joined Pentecostal through charismatic? please do you know about Holy Ghost priest or Holy Ghost school? these are just a branch of the church. just as Paul teaches differently from other apostle but saying the same meaning that's how Holy priest does which gave birth to charismatic. this charismatic has being there long before the Pentecostal. what do you think you know about the bible that makes you feel a Catholic can't discuss with you? please tell me

MrMcJay:


I guess the meaning of my post flew over your head.

According to the unintelligent post by the OP, protestant celebrate Valentine's day more than Catholics. I don't know how he came about that drunken assertion.

As to all the saints you're celebrating, that's your religious belief. I don't have problems with them. If you like celebrate the birthday of Judas Iscariot, once it makes you happy, that's fine by me.

myproperty:

The charismatic movement was not there long before pentecostal movement. The charismatic movement started when 2 American prof when to a prayer meeting( 1966) and got babtized in holy spirit and went back to their chapel and started laying hands(1967) and the movement started to spread while pentecostal movement grew out of holiness revival in the 2nd half of 19th century and became an outbreak in 1901. So please.

Psoul:


So u slept and woke up, tot about this and finally got urself convinced to put this kind of thing online. Bros, i belive u weren't in sound mind before writing this.

Are u fighting for Catholic Church or for Christ?
U are too small to fight for any of the above. Ur write up is i divisive one and shouldn't come from a Christian. U are just trying to ridcule the Body of Christ.

Be it known to you that St. Valentine did nt do what he
did cos he was a Catholic Priest. He did is because he was a Christian. So please be reasonable in your posts. If a Christian did anything good, irrespective of

denomination, Christians all over the world will celebrate
him and be proud of Christ the more and not just
particularizing it to one denomination.

I'm disappointed with ur post

hopefulLandlord:
This is one of the reasons I'm convinced Christianity is false and Holy Spirit is fictional cuz Christians can't agree on anything despite talking to the same holy spirit who is promised that it'll reveal the real truth to them

From the very beginning, Christians have split and diverged and disagreed about matters of extreme consequence, and matters that seem (on the face of it) totally trivial. For close to 1,500 years the chief hobby of Christendom seemed to be finding reasons to murder other Christians, and to this day thousands of Christian variations exist, many of which are utterly incompatible and "heretical" to each other's point of view. From Arianism to "Mariolotry", from thefilioque, to anti-trinitarian Oneness Pentecostalism, from hardline Feeneyism to Christian Universalism, from Quietism to televangelists ... any doctrinal standpoint held by one Christian group is guaranteed to be held in contempt by other (ostensibly) fellow Christians.

Yet every last one of them bows their knees before the Father, every last one of them believes that Christ dwells in their hearts and that they are strengthened by the power of this Spirit. Every last one of them"knows" that they are correct and everyone else is wrong. They alone are "filled up by the fullness of God." They can "feel it in their hearts".

"By their fruits you will know them," wrote the unknown author(s) of the book we call Matthew, and those words are quite right. The fruits of Christianity have always been discord among themselves, dehumanization of others and mutual persecution over whatever passes for heresy at that time and place. "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit" applies wonderfully to Christianity. By that very standard, the tree of Christianity is rotten to the core and more prickly than a cactus. It is evident and obvious that there is no "still, small voice" guiding Christians, that the Bible is wrong when it promises to reveal the truth to believers ... because regardless of one's belief, there are millions upon millions of other Christians who are convinced of that belief's incorrectness, convinced that the Holy Spirit has lit their path to truth (and likely think said "heretics" deserve eternal punishment to boot despite the fact that they are all supplicants to the same Lord).

Empredboy:
why did you not answer my question about love. these churches you mention that do not celebrate anything do you know what they have in common? NO LOVE. I won't go deep about that but I know you know that these churches you mentioned don't believe in sharing and they hate their enemies yet they said they read the Bible but never came across where Christ whom we Christians coded our religion after (Christ like), Christ said love your enemies and pray for them Matthew 5:54. but instead they pray that their enemies should die. tell me how will the love to celebrate Xmas, Valentine ,birthday and so on.
what do you know about love. use your Bible to back it up before you challenge a Catholic

Empredboy:
seriously I dont understand. but what do you know about love? the churches you mentioned how is their relationship with bible in the teaching of Christ about what to do to enemies?

careytommy7:
Nonsense. The person who composed this hogwash of an OP is definitely not a Christian

Please which pentecostal church celebrates valentine's day?

dingbang:
Please don't start another e war please.. Even though I am a Catholic, I won't support this. You were taught not to judge.

myproperty:

Love? Did you say what the church know about love? At least there were not involve in the dark age murder of people who share different believe with the church or people who speak against the church doctrine. Where was the love?

raymexx:
Hahahaha see ur argument, why don't u then celebrate many other Catholic saints who lived during your so called Universal church time. most of Catholic doctrines was made during that time, why don't u follow it. Mitcheeewwww

GIBT:
Do Pentecostals now believe in sainthood?

why are you deviating? who murdered who in those days? if Catholic murdered in those days as you said do you think they would have spread the gospel to the end of the earth? please where do you get this your information from? if Catholic did what you said do you think the church will still be alive till now? do you think the population will still be this high? remember what Christ promised to peter about his church. Matthew 16:18. tell me one religion that has remained like Catholics in population, ages and popularity? remember Peter "gate of hell won't prevail over it " abi is the church Christ promised dead or not existing again? or Christ lieing?
what happens to your church population and popularity when your GO dies? let me give you examples of some of your Pentecostal churches whose GO have dies.
BENSON IDAHOSA : founder church of God mission international Benin. after his death has the church done what Christ commanded to preach till the end of the earth? why is it still stagnant or is the church closed?
PASTOR BIMBO ODUKOYA : founder single and married. why is the program dead is the spirit out of the church just as the pastor died?
PASTOR AJANOKU :christ revival international ayobo. go to the church now and see for yourself.
in our time we have seen two popes 1st Pope John Paul 11 and Pope Benedict 16. now we have Pope Francis . has the church missed any of the above popes? no because Christ is our head. so another question for the is what happens when your GO dies? and what do you know about love

Best write up ....you made a good point bro

transformed:
Stalin killed between 20-60 million in about 10 years, while Catholic church killed less than 5000 heretics in 200 years. Hitler's NAZI party is a communist party...Penticostals killed zero because of their believe so far

CAPSLOCKED:






YOU DON'T FIND OTHER RELIGIONS BEATING EACH OTHER UP LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW WHY?


CHRISTIANITY IS THE MOST CONTRADICTORY RELIGION.

HOW CAN YOU BLAME THE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION FOR NOT AGREEING ON A THING TOGETHER, WHEN EVEN THE GOSPEL WRITERS COULDN'T AGREE ON THE STORY OF JESUS.

ALL OF THEM HAVE CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS FOR THAT. FUNNY ENOUGH LUKE ALONE CONTRADICTS HIS OWN SELF WITH DISAGREEING STATEMENTS IN HIS BOOK, JUST FEW VERSES APART


ABEG JUST LEAVE CHRISTIANS ALONE WHEN THEY'RE NOT SPEWING THEIR POISON ON YOUR FACE.

myproperty:


Hmmm. You don't even know the history of your church and you talking others. Go and find out about your church first before coming online and condemning others because they are not catholic. Am I surprise? No! Why? So it happens when people have contrary view on the catholic church in time past they have to be killed and burnt. Yes killed. Go find out what the church did to Jan Hus a Czech priest, go find out what they did to Tyndale. The horror the church committed in the days of the catholic inquisition. The number of matyrs the church killed. Martin Luther escaped it after many attempts attempts (thanks to then king of Germany who gave him protection) go and read and know the history of your church first.
