is it Pentecostalism?

There is no "most accurate practice of the Bible". The Bible is only half of Christianity, and the other half is doctrine. Orthodox Christianity is the most accurate because it's literally the same practice that has been done since the Apostles.

How does Orthodox differ from Catholicism, like the major differences? That is, if you feel like sharing. Im curious.

Catholicism, while being the most "academic", also made a bunch of shit up. Holy water, confession to a priest, purgatory, infant baptism, etc. None of that is Biblical.
I do have a deep respect for Catholicism and their theological pursuits, but I myself couldn't be a Catholic. Too systemic.
Orthodox, while more personal and biblical, lacks the academic advantage of Catholicism, as well at its gravitas.

Puritanism for the faithful
Catholicism for the buereucratic
reformed congregationalists desu

Catholics decided that, since the Pope is the voice of God, he gets to change and amend the scriptures as he sees fit, so Catholicism is a very different faith now than it was back when the Orthodox and Catholic Churches were one. Catholicism is also governed by Vatican 2 now, so it's pretty much a different church entirely. The Orthodox Church, on the other hand, has always been as anti-innovation as possible and has tried to keep things consistent since its establishment. It lacks the welcoming modern appeal of Catholicism but it's more traditional and more Christian.

Orthodox = mysticism, reactionary
Catholicism = theology, progressive

As a former Pentecostal (whose grand-father was a patriarch of the UPCI).. no. It had some major failing, but it's upsides are undeniable.
