Best Answer

Some not all Catholics can be pentecostal , most are not. Pentecostal Christians recognize the value of the Holy Spirit today in our lives. All Catholics believe in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, too! Pentecostals focus a lot on 'speaking in tongues' even though it is one of the lesser gifts. They really like to focus mainly on Acts in the New Testament and forget that there is the Old Testament and many other books to learn and pray on.

Roman Catholic AnswerThis is rather a difficult question to answer as there are so many different kinds of Pentecostal "churches" and the differ from each other in many respects. But at the core, they are protestant in that they reject many beliefs of the Catholic church and emphasis certain things found in The Bible, which is no more than a description of nearly any protestant church. They are a breakaway from the Methodist faith so they are two generations removed from the church, at least. The priesthood, the sacramental life, the spiritual life, the complete belief system of faith in God taught by Jesus through His Church are all missing in Pentecostal churches.

Can a divorced non-Catholic not married in a Catholic Church remarry in a Catholic church without an annulment?

Yes, a Catholic can marry a Pentecostal. Marriages in the Catholic tradition can take place either within a Mass or not. Generally, if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic they do not celebrate sacrament of matrimony during Mass but rather have a service. This service is just as Sacramental for the Catholic spouse as a marriage within a Mass would be for two Catholics getting married. There are some conditions however: For a Catholic to marry a Pentecostal and have their marriage recognized by the Church and thus be sacramental for the Catholic spouse, the couple would have to go through the regular marriage prep as required by their parish and the Pentecostal spouse would have to make certain commitments, such as acknowledging that the Catholic spouse has a commitment to raise the offspring in the Catholic faith.
