Both claim to have begun in the year 33 AD on the Day of Pentecost.
The Eastern Orthodox Church or, more correctly, the Catholic Orthodox Church, is known as Apostolic Succession.
Some Pentecostals call themselves Apostolic. The main distinction is their emphasis on the baptism of the Holy Ghost with "speaking in tongues" The Orthodox Church believes that there is no Biblical foundation for this.
Another difference is that Eastern Orthodox is trinitarian, while Apostolic Pentecostals are oneness believers.

∙ 15y agoThe Eastern Orthodox religion is a denomination of Christianity that is generally described as "high church" in terms of its traditions and creeds and is more akin to the Catholic church in the way that worship happens. The Methodist church is at the other end of the spectrum in that it is a protestant denomination that believes in the "priesthood of all believers" and not the authority of church doctrines. Worship is also very simple in comparison without the "bells & whistles". Churches are often simple with the pulpit at the centre - i.e. the word of God being the most important aspect and not the doctrines and traditions.
