Most Pentecostal denominations retain an orthodox view of the Trinity; however members of the Apostolic Pentecostal tradition have an aberrant view referred to as "Oneness" doctrine, which is a convoluted way of trying to say the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all the same Person.
Orthodox (right) Christianity believes in One God existing in three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

There are those who are pentecostal who believe and do not believe in the trinity.
The trinity doctrine is a doctrinal concept derived by men, not by God.
No place in the Word of God is the Word trinity used.
It is interesting to note that when this doctrine was put into place, believers were required to accept it. And many who did not were severly punished, even to the point of death.
So we must ask ourselves, if this doctrine was of God, would he want believers killing believers because of doctrinal differences? And could you consider the ones doing the killing truely believers, truly doing the will of God?

Yes, they do believe in the Holy Trinity. However, their faith is centered on the Holy Spirit. Indeed, they do believe in the same teachings as most protestant churches.
They worship freely with praise and such. They are more open to the "movement of the Holy Spirit".
I hope this helps!

Well they mention the trinity, but don't know to what extend. Basically, yes, but on their on logical way of thinking. They only refer to the Bible as the up most authority. Refuse or don't care for tradition. Can't put the scripture in your own words, as you just imagine, or use logic and common sense. The 10 commandments were given to us so we can see what we are doing. Its a mirror that shows us our personal history. Ex. Thau shall not kill" Ok I have never killed a person, I have not taken somebodies life, but IHATE and wish so ans so was dead, I kill him or her in my heart. Hate is killing, so it doesn't have to be to take a life.

Okay now you are in my court...Pentecostal people are Christians. We believe in Jesus as our Savior,,,we believe he died on the cross for our sins..
.
Here is where we differ with the Baptist, Meth,,,etc....
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues,,,((((just like they did in the First Church that was established in the book of Acts)))) I would be happy to send a whole list of scriptures to back this up to anyone who is interested....read Acts Chapter 10 and see how they knew that the Gentiles had received the Holy Spirit..........they heard them speak with other tongues..
Acts 10:42.
42And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
