As long as you respect others rights to eat what they want, you can be a vegetarian Pentecostal.
Matthew 15:11
"It is not what goes into the mouth that makes a person unclean. It is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean."
In biblical times there were cults that practiced vegetarianism, This is what Paul was warning about. He wasn't talking about their diets.
Genesis 1:29
God said, "I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food."
We were originally designed to eat a vegan diet. He didn't give us permission to eat meat until after the flood.

Yes. There are dietary restrictions in some churches (Seventh Day Adventists, Judaism, Islam, etc.) but there is nothing that prohibits being a vegetarian and a Pentecostal at the same time.

Of course. There's nothing in the Bible that says you can't be a vegetarian...heck, meat wasn't even given to people to eat until after the flood. The church has absolutely nothing for or against vegetarianism - in their view, it's like your choice of Coke or Pepsi. They're fine with whatever you choose.
Why wouldn't you be able to?
