What is the difference between a Pentecostal church and Apostolic churches?

Answer 1

Catholics believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit so do apostolic but the difference is apostolics believe in the name of Jesus (in prayer). when apostolics are baptised you are put in the water and Catholics to a triple conversion which is a sprinkle of water on the head. Apostolics also believe that you are able to live sin free where Catholics do not. the reason apostolics believe that you may live sin free is because we believe that the lord lives within you and you let him lead you and you have to follow. catholics believe that its not possible to live sin free because we are just humans. but what they don't understand is you cant do it without Gods help. apostolics also believe that as long as you serve the poor you will go to heaven but apostolics believe that if you sin you will go to hell because that is what Lucifer got kicked out of heaven for because he wanted to do things his way and those who wanted the same also got kicked out of heaven. there are a lot of differences i could add so much more but that is the most important things.

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ the year He rose from the dead, He had previously appointed St. Peter (and his successors) as head of His Church (see St. Matthew 16:17-19), and He guaranteed it until the end of the world. The Apostolic Church was formed in 1922 (20 centuries after Jesus founded His Church), and is yet another protestant denomination.

Answer 2

Pentecostals (everyone needs to) repent, be baptized in Jesus Name, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and the speaking of other tongues... you need to do this to get to Heaven...

There are also Apostolic Pentecostals they believe in repent, be baptized in Jesus Name, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and the speaking of other tongues... you need to do this to get to Heaven. (same as above except) we wear skirts and DONT CUT HAIR. We obey everything The Bible tells us to do, weather god demands it or just asks. .... (I am Apostolic Pentecostal so I know)~

Apostolic churches don't believe in the Trinity, (Father Son, Holy Ghost) Pentecostal churches do. The difference is the belief in the Trinity. Also Apostolic baptized in Jesus name only. Pentecostals baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost............

not all pentecostals teach you have to have the holy ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues to go to heaven, some teach its good to have that but not necessary for heaven...but all apostolic pentecostals do teach this. there are manhy differences even amongst the individual denominations whether apostolic or just pentecostals.....also FYI---there are apostolic denominations which are not pentecostal at all.

Answer 3

Well, first of all, there are different groups who call themselves Apostolic. Some are Oneness believers, some are Trinitarians. But...

Basically being apostolic is following the Gospel just as the apostles did. If the bible, scripture, says do this...or don't do this....its done. I am Apostolic and we take the bible literally not figuratively like so many people today because people tend to apply only what they want to make them feel better in their lives rather than applying and living by the true Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ.

ANSWER

Apostolics firmly believe that there is one God. As the scripture saith: one True God and our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that that one God can do anything and everything. He does not apportion duties to 2 other gods, like other religions do. Isaiah 9:6 calls the child, son the everlasting Father. Isaiah 45:15. let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Answer 4

The Catholic Church is an Apostolic church. The term Apostolic in the Catholic church refers to the passing of ordination from the apostles down through the bishops, so there is an unbroken line of ordained people who can trace their lineage back to the apostles through the bishops who ordained them.

The apostolic churces are a protestant denomination attempting to act like the church of Acts.

Answer 5

didn't think there was a new apostolic church....we have the same beliefs as pentecostle church.....we go by the bible and live day by day trying to be faithful and trusting god ....i read that apostolic faith believe they are the only way to heaven ....thats not true .....god is our only judge and he will say who makes heaven and who dont .....god loves everyone and its so nieve for some to think that apostolic is the only way ...gods word which is the bible is the only way obey it.. and we are on the right tract with god ....its not the religion but how you live your life for god ....have a great day..and remember god is good..:)

Answer 6

The Armenian Apostolic Church is not a protestant church. It is very similar to the Catholic Church. I was baptized Roman Catholic but I now attend the Armenian church. Founded in the first century by two of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew, we are one of the five ancient Eastern Oriental Orthodox churches. Saints Thaddeus and Bartholomew were ordained the first Armenian bishops. At the beginning of the fourth century, Armenia became the first nation in the world to declare Christianity as our state religion through the work of our patron saint, St. Gregory the Illuminator, and the decree of King Trdat III. As one of the oldest autocephalous national Christian churches, for more than 1,700 years we have steadfastly and devotedly followed Our Lord Jesus Christ, His teachings, the teachings of His Holy Apostles, our sacred church traditions, and the teachings of our graceful saints and church fathers.

Having been founded by the one Lord Jesus Christ, the Church has one faith, one liturgy, one hierarchy. The Armenian Church is one in herself and one with the great Church of our Lord, since she accepts and keeps the Church’s faith, teachings and practices, “as once delivered to the Saints” and as defined by the first three Ecumenical councils of Nicaea in 325 A.D, of Constantinople in 381 and of Ephesus in 431.

Our Church is Apostolic, because it was founded directly by two of the twelve apostles. Our Church is Orthodox, because it has the true faith of Christ. We are a Church with over nine million faithful dispersed in every continent throughout the world. The head of the Church is Jesus Christ. The Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians is the worldwide spiritual leader of the Nation, for Armenians both in Armenia and in the Dispersion. The spiritual and administrative headquarters of the Church, the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, established in 301 AD in the city of Vagharshapat, Armenia, seventeen centuries later continues to guide our devoted nation and people on the luminous paths of fulfilling the primary mission of our Church – leading people to God.

Answer 7

Catholicism is believed, based on biblical and historical evidence, to be the continuation of the Apostolic faith.
