Catholicism Vs Pentecostalism-The right and the wrong

*clears my throat*...If you are not aware of the kind of rivalry going on in our churches today, then you are the only man in Jerusalem who does not know that Jesus has risen from the dead. After taking a cursory look at the kind of unhealthy religious jingoism in our churches today, I decided to pick my pen and paper.
I term it CATHOLICISM VS PENTECOSTALISM...ie the Catholics vs the pentecostals-the battle for supremacy, the battle for doctrines.

Who is right? Who is wrong? Because two persons can neither be right nor wrong on a particular issue.

Before, I continue, let me introduce myself so that you will not be incognizant of my biases, if any. I am Secundum Scripturas. If you are a good linguist, you need not ask whether I am a Catholic or Pentecostal. However, in order to get all righteousness fulfilled, I am a Die hard Catholic...lol

I have heard this several times, and I decided to bring it to the fore. On those fateful days, I do hear Catholic priests refer Pentecostals or do I say SOME pentecostal churches as MUSHROOM CHURCHES. Yes, mushroom churches! I do not seem to understand that statement. But if I do, I want to ask, Can a Catholic make heaven? The answer is obviously yes. Let me also ask, Can a non-catholic make heaven? The answer is also Yes. If a catholic can make heaven, a non-catholic can make heaven, what does it mean?? It means that denomination is no longer a criterion for heaven candidateship. So on what ground should a "human being" call another "human being", a Mushroom Church? In my subsequent publications, I will tell you what I mean by "human being". That is for that.

In a certain branch campus, of a certain Federal University in the South Eastern Nigeria, I witnessed something somehow someday...lol
It was a fellowship or may be a crusade, but was being held at the Male hostel with loudspeakers causing cacophony in the whole house, disturbing peoples' peace in the name of Praises...but that was not my concern any way. My concern was on the topic of the preacher or pastor (or may be student pastor). Do you know what he was preaching? Hmm...he was with a microphone shouting on top of his voice(though normal for them) "May God bring a leader that will wipe out the cultism in the Catholic Church", " God is looking for someone", "are you the one God is looking for, to wipe out cultism in the Catholic church"...he kept shouting, with emphasis on the keywords-Cultism and Catholic Church.
Apparently, the office of the Nigerian Federation of Catholic Students( NFCS) was just opposite the crusade/fellowship ground.

My question now is: is that necessary to your salvation?

I am not doubting the authenticity of their claims, but the approach and intention was absolutely ungodly.

CATHOLICISM VS PENTECOSTALISM

*There is cultism in catholic church, but to say there is cultism in pentecostal chiurches is to indulge in wry understatement, most pastors, general overseers and general superetendents are also "ogakpatakpata" in the occultic world.
*Pentecostals please stop call Catholics idol worshipers. They don't worship image.

*Pentecostals stop saying catholics worship Mary, we don't worship her we honour her.

*Catholics stop seeing pentecostals as appearing too holy, for it is the Spirit that does the work.

*Catholics stop going to church with newspapers and magazines, go with your bibles and jotters like the pentecostals.

*Remember a MUSHROOM CHURCH member can make heaven, and also remember an IMAGE WORSHIPPER can make heaven. What then is the need?????????????

I REST MY CASE!!!
