The Roman Catholic Church has a Hierarchy, consisting of the Laity; Deacons, Priests, Monsignors, Bishops, Cardinals and the Pontiff (who is the first among equals).

And Pentecostal churches can have apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors & teachers.

List of differences between pentecostal church and Roman Catholic church?

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.

How do Pentecostal baptisms differ from Catholic baptisms?

The trinitarian baptism is given in the ritual acclamation of, "I baptise you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."In my research on the Internet I have seen two different approaches to the Pentecostal baptism, first "...in the name of Jesus" and second, "in the Holy Spirit".In Pentecostal churches water baptism signifies that you are forgiven of your sins and are now a member of the church. It is done in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Trinitarian Pentecostal churches and in the name of Jesusin Oneness Pentecostal churches.Water baptism in Catholic churches is by pouring or immersion, in Pentecostal churches it is only by immersion. Water baptism in Catholic churches is usually done on infants as soon as possible after birth although adults that are newly catechized converts are also baptized, in Pentecostal churches it is only done on adults that are able to give a testimony of their being "born again".Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an entirely different ceremony (it does not involve water at all, in some churches it will involve anointing with oil). Baptism in the Holy Spirit is done by the laying on of hands by the church leaders and prayers, it is then expected that the person being baptized in the Spirit will manifest the Spirit, usually by speaking in tongues. This baptism is generally unique to Pentecostal churches, although some other churches are also doing it now.Catholic AnswerA Catholic baptism is a sacrament that actually brings about what it signifies, it truly removes sins and makes one a child of God - by the power of God. A Pentecostal baptism that is done with water in the name of the Trinity and attempting to do what the Church does also is a valid baptism. Anything else called "baptism" is just an outward ceremony that is ineffective according to the Church.

Can a infant be baptized in Catholic Church if born out of wedlock and one parent is not Catholic?

I can't answer this question accuratly, because I don't know which church you're refering to. But ultimatly it's the child's decision to be baptized, and no matter what the parents' situations are, it can't stop the child from being baptized.Catholic Answer:Yes, parents who are not married can have their child baptized. The Church does not punish the child for the sins of the parents.


Is the Roman Catholic Church from Roman culture?

Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. It is used because Christ's Vicar has been in Rome since St. Peter went there and was buried there. The Catholic Church was an institution founded by Christ for the salvation of souls. There are many rites of Catholic Church, all of which believe in the same things, but only differ in the way they do things. There is also the Byzantine Catholic Church, the Coptic Church, the Ethiopian Church etc. All of them are ONE CHURCH but have separate divisions. The Catholic Church is essentially built on Jewish belief, though not dependent on it. The Latin Rite Church (sometimes referred to {incorrectly} as the "Roman Rite") has incorporated whatever good things of Roman culture into it (eg. types of vestments)


What is the difference between a denominational church and a Christian church?

There are many differences between the Catholic Church and nondenominational churches.Nondenominational churches (as their title suggests) are not affiliated with any particular denomination. This means that there is nothing distinctive about their theology or their governance that aligns them with any particular denomination. The Catholic Church, however, has a very distinctive theology and governance that separates it from other Churches or ecclesial communions. It follows from this that nondenominational churches do not have many of the things that make the Catholic Church distinctly Catholic. This includes things like:The pope, bishops, or a formal hierarchySeven SacramentsThe Sacrifice of the MassPrayer to the saintsDevotion to MaryThe four Marian dogmasSacred TraditionApostolic SuccessionA distinction between mortal sin and venial sinA belief in PurgatoryThe use of statues and iconsIn virtue of being nondenominational, they vary greatly in theology from church to church, but in general, nondenominational churches tend to focus on the basic Gospel message and do not stray very far beyond that. The Catholic Church, of course, preaches the Gospel as well, but She also preaches many other things that, while not specifically the Gospel message as such, are still true and thus must be taught and believed. This would include many of the items listed above.Nondenominational churches may or may not also differ with the Catholic Church on various issues of morality, such as abortion, contraception, homosexual marriage, divorce, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, capital punishment, etc. How much any nondenominational church differs with the Catholic Church on these matters basically depends on the nondenominational church in question. Some may differ greatly with the Catholic Church on these matters, while others may be perfectly aligned with us.


How did the ideas of the reformation differ from those of established Catholic church?

The primary difference was that the Protestants argued that the ability to interpret the Bible rested with the individual believer and not the Church establishment. Therefore, the only thing that was relevant in knowing God was the Bible and not Church doctrines.
