there is this strange belief that pentecoastals exhibit early christian life.

and catholism is product of church curroption.


plz, is this true. are early christians more protestants or catholics

They were simply Christians. Neither Catholics or protestants. Catholism is the form of Christianity created by the Romans. They infused Christianity and Roman culture to produce Catholicism. But i believe the earlier Christians were more similar to the catholics than the protestants.

@Afam,
How are the early christians similar to Catholics? Do they say the rosary, honor Mary or have a pope?

You may also ask those questions this way:
Did the early Christians have leaders amongst them(bishops)? Do they believe in saints and there intercessory roles? Is mary the mother of God? Has she a place in the salvific mystery? Or perhaps inventions or later day additions.

I never said they were similar. I said they were more similar than protestants.

catholic definitely.

christianity was defined as a cult in those days, under Roman Law.
