Need clarification

Hi everyone, Im new to this site and love it so far.

My question may sound silly to some who were raised Pentecostal but I was raised very old school/old country (Italy) RC and then became Born Again in '98.

I am having a hard time differenciating between the Pentecostal and Evangelical/Apostolistic churches.

I attend both types of churches. The only difference I see is the way that the ministers preach.

Both churches are bible based and believe in restoration and renewal of the body and spirit of Christ in ourselves.

Can anyone tell me what the theological or doctrinal differences are?

Thanks,
-Jen

Pentecostals believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues and the manifestations of the Holy Spirit as written in 1 Co 12. Some Evangelical churches do, some don't. The ones who don't generally think those things passed when the canon of scripture was completed.

Pentecostal churches are evangelical. Evangelical churches are not always pentecostal.
