The second is The United Pentecostal Church. This is the group I was raised with. They are quite severe in their teaching. Look it up.
There's a guy who's Pentecostal where I used to work, with my dad. However, he's the Sicilian kind, and I don't know how strict they are compared to American Pentecostals. However, my father being a staunch Ctholic, he has a picture of a saint in his office, nothing big, just a little image tucked in a bigger picture frame. Despite my father being his boss, this guy's always going into my dad's office telling him it's not right to have pictures of saints, it's a sin, and it borders on idolatry, etc, etc, etc. My dad had the greates comeback: he asked if the guy had a picture of his own father in his wallet, who passed away not too long ago. he asked why he had the picture with him, asked him how he would feel if someone tore up the picture, and all that kind of stuff. Needless to say, the guy didn't bother my dad about that little picture ever again.
