Jeme —
If his ex-wife is still alive, he would need an annulment before you could marry him in the Church. This establishes that his previous marriage was not a true marriage from the beginning for some reason.
In addition, marrying a non-Catholic, especially to a Pentecostal preacher, brings several hazards. There will probably be pressure to leave the Catholic Church and join his church. For a Pentecostal preacher to have a Catholic wife would be a bit of an embarrassment.
Plus he would have to agree to let you raise the kids in the Catholic Church, something unlikely given his vocation. The normal friction between a Catholic and a non-Catholic spouse will be magnified by the fact he is a minister. This is not therefore a matter of sin (unless you married him without an annulment outside the Catholic Church) but of prudential judgment.
