I know of several cases where religiously mixed relationships have worked out. But in some cases, they don't. It depends upon the tolerance the couple has for each other's beliefs. I'm Catholic. If I dated a Pentecostal, I'd absolutely expect her to accept the fact that I am Catholic, just as she'd have every right to demand that I respect her belief in evangelical Protestantism.
But long before having children, if the couple wants them, this Catholic/Pentecostal couple will need to decide in advance how the children will be raised. In my experience, that's the primary reason for the failure of these types of relationships. I've seen it happen quite a few times.

If you're both born again believers, that's a start. But I don't think that's the only thing meant when the Bible says not to be unequally yoked. I think that can also mean for two people not to be together when they are in two very different stages of their walk with God.
Pentecostals and Catholics believe very different things. Do you think you can handle it? I'm not Pentecostal per se but I lean that way and am a fundamentalist. I couldn't date a Catholic most likely.

I am a protestant, I always wanted to go to a church where people really worshipped God, so though my parents went to a CSI protestant church, I went to a pentecostal AG church. I loved the worship there, I dint have any friends there, but I went there to worship God. Many times the place you marry in, will change your life style. Pray and ask God what He has for you. If you feel that God is telling you to cut that relationship and you are not able to do so, ask God's help. His plan for us is the best.
Though I felt like giving in to many relationships, I was miraculously got out of them and am married to the one whom God chose for me. So submit your marraige, its really important.

Ok. First of all, all you people up there who say Catholics are bad shut the hell up. Second, to answer your question, no it isn't but you might have a hard time choosing which church to go to together. Haha. [=

No, to be honest Catholicism has a great motivator for forcing the non-Catholic to keep the marriage and children Catholic - hell!

Sure it's OK.. But it may sneak up and get you later on when it comes to whom the children will follow!! They are a world apart..All I can say is Good Luck to you both.

Sure.
Catholics are always willing to help their wayward protestant bretheren.
