Methodists proclaim in every service to recognize the Catholic Church. Pentacostals believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit among them...speaking in tongues and prophesy. The "day of Pentacost" refers to the "Upper Room" which Christians believe was a special enlightment.

In a sense there is no real difference. Methodists are christians by definition, they stick to the trinitarian point of view of Christianity (there is one God in three parts, father son and holy ghost). There are many different denominations or types of christianity. They are all very similar with their beliefs, the only difference is that the way that they choose to worship God is different to the way other denominations choose to worship. There are a few other differences in theology and practice, but these are minor differences. Usually it comes down to a different leadership and what hymns and songs are chosen and how a service is run. In all honestly methodist churches are christian churches, just like the church of england, pentecostal and URC churches. Each one of these denominations started out because they wanted to change the way things were done and worship God in the way they want to
methodist is a branch of christian

What is difference between aldersgate Methodist church and First United Methodist Church?

You haven't given enough information for your question to be answered. There are many "First" United Methodist Churches. Often there's one per town/city. There are also many "Aldersgate" United Methodist Churches, though "First" is by far the most common name. Aldersgate is a street in London, England where John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed." John Wesley began the Methodist movement within the Anglican Church, which eventually became it's own church. From the information you've given, the only difference is the name. However, in any town where two churches of these names exist, you would be able to draw any number of comparisons such as worship attendance, worship style, theological hallmarks, and etc. You'd be better off searching for websites for each church or calling each church directly to find out the differences you're interested in.
