Differences:
Pentocostal:
The main difference with the United Pentecostal Church is their belief in one God. The UPC opposes the concept of the Trinity- the belief that God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit the spirit are equal and one. They believe that God the father is the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in emanation. Their belief on the God head is often referred to as "Oneness" or "Jesus Only".
Also some UPC's believe that women are not allowed to wear pants, so they must wear only long skirts. Only men are allowed to wear pants.
Assembly of God and full gospel churches:
They believe in the Trinity. They don't have a specific everyday dress code like the UPC's. Some may have church service dress codes, but you are still allowed to wear what you want during the week.
Similarities:
They both believe that the Bible is the divine Word of God. They also believe that Jesus Christ is the key to getting to Heaven or in other words He is our Salvation. They both also believe that Jesus rose from the dead three days later after He was killed.
There are many other similarities:
Creation of man and his fall
Repentance
Water baptism
Communion
Tithing
The second coming of Jesus
The UPC's do have similar beliefs to other gospel churches but those two differences play a big role in their seperation. The UPC's also have other beliefs that differ from other gospel churches. For example, they believe that school students should not attend school shows, dances, dancing classes, coeducational classes where students wear gym clothes in an "ungodly attire", and so on and so forth. I hope this helps.

What they all have in common is that they are all Bible believing churches. They also all believe in salvation. The differences are the way they preach the word of God and the way they worship God. Pentecostal Churches also believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as being a separate occurrence verses most of the others believe that this happens when you are saved.

well i dont know about assemblies of God,and Full Gospel churches,but i do know about the Apostolic faith,which is the original faith,we believe the bible and what it says,no shortcuts or no half steps,we believe in the born again salvation,being baptized in the NAME OF JESUS(not father,son,holyghost) and receiving the Gift of the HolyGhost with evidence by tongues as the spirit gives utterance(acts2:4) and we believe in being holy and seperate unto God(Hebrews 12:14)

They all follow the Holy Bible
If you are searching for a new Church, I would recommend looking for one that urges a relationship with Jesus Christ and pushes away from being "religious" or playing Church.
Look for one that uses the Holy Bible only to teach scriptures from...there are no other "holy" books. If someone says there is...be careful to not be deceived.
Religion is man's way of trying to reach God.
Relationship is God's way of reaching us, through Jesus Christ.
Grace to you and God Bless!
