I would love to see a Jehovah's witness speaking in tongues.

You know the bible says that the speaking in tongues, the healings, the bringing back from the dead were all gifts Jesus gave to his Apostles only. When they died out so did the gifts....But some faiths still believe they have the gift of healing....If you do why are the hospitals still filled with dying and seriously ill persons?
If you can heal...go show us your stuff. Heal the world.
And the early christians were together in a city like a melting pot...all different languages came together...In order to teach and preach the Apostles had to speak those languages...but today some religions think that the jabber no one can understand is from God...helllllooooo...it's from the devil. Those gifts were done away with.

No. Jehovah Witnesses (as a religion) don't believe in the Trinity, or the Resurrection as a new everlasting body. They don't do communion except once a year. They are legalistic about celebrating any day that pagans have had their rituals on before. They think Jesus was created by Father God.
Pentecostals believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit given at the day of Pentecost also for us today. That God will pour out His Spirit on all nations and older will dream dreams and younger have visions. Also that God is the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. They believe in the resurrection of a body. Jesus raised up a new temple. Pentecostals believe God created everything and without God the Father, God the Son or God the Holy Spirit, nothing would have been created.

No. While I do not pretend to know all the In's and outs of the Pentecostal belief system I do know a few differences. As I understand it, the Pentecostals don't believe women are allowed to wear make up or pants.

Pentecostal's believe in the Holy Spirit, The Trinity, The gifts of the Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. They believe in the death, burial , and resurrection of Jesus Christ and they know that He is the Son of God... Well let's just say that the Jehova's Witness' don't believe in all of that.

Jehovah's Witnesses and "Pentecostals" are both self-described Christians, but the faiths differ markedly.
The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses believes that God's Word the bible is sufficient to communicate God's message to humankind. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to teach that the outward miraculous "signs" that helped authenticate the early Christian congregation during the lifetimes of the apostles would not be needed once the bible was complete and its persuasive power available to Kingdom proclaimers and their honest-hearted students.
(1 Corinthians 13:8-13) But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is [miraculous] knowledge, it will be done away with. For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives [that is, the entire bible], that which is partial will be done away with. ...At present I know partially, but then I shall know accurately
By contrast, Pentecostalism (including nontrinitarian "Oneness Pentecostalism") is strongly identified with "speaking in tongues" and other such "signs".

No I was once a member of the Pentecostal Holiness Church. It has nothing to do with Jehovah Witness. They are the bell ringers more like Salvation Army.

That depends on which Pentecostal denomination is in question. From what I have learned the Oneness Pentecostals beliefs are quiet similar to J.W.

Have you ever been to a J W service? Total slow mo with very little word they say because it makes so little sense. However, they do have some hot chicks that go door to door.
Sorry. Pentecostal is also an agony. Oh hell yeah.
Check out Lakewood Church on TBN. If you are stuck in those other churches go find a place that liberates you!
Peace and good life to you.
