"Ipaglaban mo nang puspusan ang pananampalataya. Panghawakan mong mabuti ang buhay na walang hanggan, dahil diyan ka tinawag ng Diyos nang ipahayag mo sa harap ng maraming saksi ang iyong pananalig kay Cristo." I Tim. 6:12

Iglesia ni Cristo




THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO TODAY

The Iglesia ni cristo (Church Of Christ) is a Christian religion whose primary purpose is to worship the almighty God based on his teachings as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ and as recorded in the bible.

The Church Of Christ is a church for everyone who will heed the call of god and embrace its faith—regardless of his or her nationality, economic status, and educational attainment.

A GLOBAL CHURCH
Thus far, the membership of the Iglesia Ni Cristo comprises at least 102 nationalities. It maintains about 5,400 local congregations grouped into 104 ecclesiastical districts in the Philippines and in 90 more countries and territories in the six inhabited continents of the world.

A ‘RADIANT’ CHURCH
In Ephesians 5:27, the church of Christ is described as a “radiant church, without any stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless”
Hence, the Iglesia Ni Cristo molds its members toward perfect unity in faith and practice, that each one will be devoted to a life of holiness and service founded on true Christian teachings.

A CHURCH THAT SHARES
The Iglesia Ni Cristo endeavors to share the gospel of salvation written in the bible to as many people as possible, in fulfillment of Christ’s vision as stated in Mark 16:15-16

“…go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved…”

The church continuously preaches the gospel not only to win over people into lord’s flock but also to edify the faith of its members, “…admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom… [to] present everyone perfect in christ” (Colossians 1:28)


NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION

Christian. The Church of Christ adheres to the unadulterated teachings of God and of the lord Jesus Christ written in the bible. The faithful firmly believe that this church is the fulfillment of biblical prophecies that the church established by Christ would re-emerge in these last days for the salvation of humankind.

Religious. The church’s major activities include worship service, missionary works, and edification.

Worship service. This solemn gathering of the faithful is usually held on Thursdays and Sundays by every local congregation inside the house of worship. It consists of hymn-singing, prayers and study of god’s words for proper applications in daily living.

Missionary works. The members gladly fulfill their duty to share the faith. They invite all people to attend bible study sessions and worship services. The church also uses mass media in spreading its message of hope to a broader audience.

The Pasugo: God’s Message, the monthly official magazine of the church, carries mainly religious articles and church news and features.

DZEM (954 kHz) broadcasts programs that discuss bible teachings. These programs are aired by about 60 other stations all over the Philippines and several more in the US and Australia.

GEM TV-49, as well as major cable stations in the Philippines and some channels in the US, telecasts the church’s religious programs featuring biblical teachings. 
 
Edification. For the spiritual welfare of the members, prayer meetings are held weekly by each group of neighboring households for further instructions in the faith and announcements about church projects and activities.

Pastoral visitations to the brethren are conducted regularly by the church officers for prayer and spiritual counseling.

Through its Christian family organizations (Buklod, kadiwa and binhi) the Church of Christ undertakes projects to strengthen the family, to guide the single members in right living and in proper conduct, and to assist the youth in their studies. The Buklod (bond) is the organization of married members. The kadiwa (acronym of a Filipino phrase meaning “youth with a noble intent”) is for the single members 18 years and older, and the binhi (seed) is composed of 13 to 17-year old members.

Independent. The Iglesia Ni Cristo is not a denomination or sect. It is not neither affiliated to any federation of religious bodies nor itself an assembly of smaller religious organizations. The Iglesia Ni Cristo is Christ’s one true church today.


CORE VALUES

Bible as basis of faith. The Iglesia Ni Cristo regards the Holy scriptures as the sole basis of its faith and practice. Some of its fundamental scriptural teachings are as follows:

Absolute oneness of God the Father. The Church believes in the teaching of Christ and the Apostles that the father, the Creator, alone is the true God. (john 17:1, 3; I cor. 8:6)
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Iglesia Ni Cristo believe in jesus Christ as the son of god. God made him lord and savior. Jesus Christ is holy and a very special man but not God. (matt. 3:17; Acts 2:36; 5:31; I tim. 2:5; John 10:36; 8:40; Acts 2:22)

The Church of Christ. The faithful firmly believe that the Church Of Christ is the one Christ established for the salvation of mankind. It is for the Church of that Christ gave his life and thus, it is this church that he will save on judgment day. (Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28; Eph. 5:23, 25)

Judgment Day. The Church of Christ believes that God appointed a day when he will judge all people through Christ. This is the day of the Second Advent of Christ, which is alos the end of the worls. (Acts 17:31; Jude 1:14-15; II pet. 3:7, 10)


Baptism. The Iglesia Ni Cristo observes the biblical way of baptism, which is immersion in water. Receiving baptism in the church of Christ is necessary for one to become a disciple of Christ, to be forgiven of sin, and to have hope for salvation. (Acts 8:38; john 3:23; Rom. 6:3-5; Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:15-16)

Resurrection. The resurrection of Christ is the main proof that the death will rise. Those in Christ will rise first to be with him forever in the Holy City. Those who are not of Christ will rise a thousand years after the first resurrection to be cast into the lake of fire. (I cor. 15:12-13; I thess 4:16-17; Rev. 20:5-10; 21:1-4)

Unity. The Church of Christ is one in faith and practice. Its unity remains intact through a centralized form of administration that ensures the adherence of all members and congregations to the same bible teachings and church rules.

Morality and Holiness. The Iglesia Ni Cristo strives to maintain a high moral standard. It regards the teaching of the bible as a way of life. It promotes purity of life among its members by means of instructions, reminders, and when necessary, corrective or disciplinary measures.

Peace and Order. The Church Of Christ helps maintain peace and order by teaching its members to respect and observe rules and regulations governing such. They are dissuaded from joining unions and organizations that resort to violence or extra-legal means to advance their causes.

Lawfulness and Discipline. The Church puts a premium on lawfulness and discipline. It complies with the apostolic teaching to submit to human authority, that is, the duly constituted government and abide by its laws (Titus 3:1; I pet. 2:13). But over and above any law, its members obey the laws of god for Christians in our time as written in the bible.

Brotherhood and equality of members. The Iglesia Ni Cristo promotes Christian brotherly love. All members are deemed equal in the sight of god. (Gal. 3:26, 28). Gender, racial, social, educational, and economic discriminations are strongly discouraged.

Sanctity of marriage. Marriage in the Church of Christ is regarded as sacred and inviolable. It is god himself who instituted marriage and he does not allow the separation of the husband and wife whom he joined together (Matt. 19:4-6). Thus, the Church of Christ does not subscribe to divorce, annulment or legal separation as a solution to marital problems in the same way that it opposes live-in relationships and same-sex marriage.

Stability of the family. The Church of Christ acknowledges the importance of family as the basic unit of its organization and of society as a whole. The stability of every family contributes to the stability of the entire church. The home is where religious education begins so Christian parenting and proper love of children are taught and reinforced at every opportune time.

Separation of Church and State. The Church of Christ upholds the democratic ideal of separation of church and state. It advances through peaceful and legal means the right and freedom of its members and congregations to conduct worship and other religious activities as provided for and protected by the fundamental law of the land.



95 YEARS OF EXPANSION


Beginnings. The Iglesia Ni Cristo was first preached by the late Brother Felix Y. Manalo in the Philippine capital city of Manila. Its first local congregation was established in Punta, Sta. Ana. On July 27, 1914, the church was registered with the Philippine government.

In 1915, Brother Felix Manalo, as the first executive minister of the church, started training ministers to assist him in the propagation of the gospel. By 1918, ministers and voluntary preachers were being sent to provinces around manila. In its tenth year, the first ecclesiastical district was organized in pampanga province.

Domestic growth. By 1939, the church had already expanded to as far as Ilocos Norte province in Northern Luzon to Cebu province in the Visayas with addition of 14 districts. It reached farther south in Mindanao in 1946 with the establishment of a district in Cotabato. When Brother Erano G. Manalo assumed overall administration in April 1963, The church had established districts in more than half of all Philippine provinces.

Overseas. On July 27, 1968, the incumbent executive minister officiated at the first worship service of the Church outside the Philippines. This gathering held in Ewa Beach, Honolulu Congregation, the first overseas mission of the church. The following month, the executive minister was in California to establish the San Francisco Congregation and lead its inaugural worship service.

The Americas. In 1971, the church set foot in Canada. IN June 1987, the US main office (USMO) was set up in Daly City, California to assist the central Administration in supervising the then 11 districts of the church in the west.

The first local congregation in Latin America was established in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1990. The following year, the church reached Mexico and Aruba. From 2000 and beyond, congregations rose in the Central and South American countries.

Europe. The first local congregation in Europe was established in England in 1972. The church came to Germany and Switzerland in the mid-70’s. By the end of the 1980’s, congregations and missions could be found in the Scandinavian countries and their neighbors.

Mediterranean. The Rome, Italy congregation was established on July 27, 1994; the Jerusalem, Israel congregation in March 1996; and the Athens, Greece congregation in May 1997. The predecessors (prayer groups) of these full-fledged congregations began two decades earlier. Meanwhile, the mission first reached Spain in 1979.

            Africa. The first mission in Northern Africa opened in Nigeria in Oct. 1978. After a month, the King William’s Town congregation, in South Africa was established.

Asia, Australia and Oceania. A congregation was organized in Guam in 1969. In Australia, congregations have been established since mid-70’s. The church first reached China by way of Hong Kong, and Japan through Tokyo also in the 1970’s. Missions have also opened in Kazakhstan and Sakhalin Island in Russia.

In Southeast Asia, the first congregation in Thailand was established in 1976 and missions have already been conducted in Brunei since 1979. In addition, there are also congregations in Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

  1. You can choose Life or you can choose death,its up to you to choose.God wants everyone to choose life,therefore one most imbace the church which is mentioned in the bible.No one in the church will make you do anything.Its up to you to enbrace Gods law,and follow the way and the truth.The only way to do this is to listen to the lessons from one who has been sent to teach and then choose the right path.Not everyone who seeks will find the way,After receiving the lessons God will decide who enters into the Church.I'm an American born white man and been a member of the Church for more then 30 years, Jesus is the son, and not God. Seek him and find the TRUTH not from friends or hersay but from the soruce.

    bangaan ng talata
    tama talaga na hinde lahat eh maaakay sa INC

    mga bagay na sa tingin ko kung bkt d maakay sa INC

    =mahirap iwan ang bisyong paglalasing
    =mahirap dn hinde gawin ang mga nakasanaya
    example: premarital sex.extramarital sex
    =mahirap dn tumigl sa pagsusugal para sa mga sugarol
    =natitisod sa pagsamba.d nakakadalo (tinatamad?)
    =Mga bisyong labag sa utos ng Diyos
    =Meron talagang hinde tnggap ang doktrina
    (i know some na hinde nila tanggap may pagsusugo o hula.. wala ganun talaga eh)
    my point of views lang naman. eto pa
    minsan hinde pinapayagan ng asawa(isa na to sa piakamataas na uri ng pag uusig)experience lang sa mga naging akay ng pamilya ko.
    =Hinde mga relihiyoso or d naniniwala sa Diyos
    =Blind faith(sabe nila hine na daw kailangan pa umanib sa mga religion basta daw mabait)
    =Pulitiko --> d ko na kailangan i explain to haha!
    =may religion na at dto na devoted at sadyang meron maninira ( d mo sila masisise ganun talaga eh para balanse ang mundo may magtatagumpay meron dn naman tutumba. meron maninira meron sisiraan. PARANG SA ISANG BOXING MATCH PAG NANALO BA SI PACQUIAO DAPAT BA PANALO DN KALABAN NYA? SYEMPRE HINDE COMPETITION UN ONE WINS ONE LOSSES.GOD MADE EARTH A BALANCE PLACE D NAMAN LANGIT TO EH.tsaka pinagpauna na dn naman ng mga apostol yan mga yan)
    =in short hinde talaga lahat magiging INC pero sisikapin ng Pamamahala na irehistro ito sa buong mundo(lahat ng bansa)bilang patotoo na darating na ang wakas

    -lapit na centennial see you there 1-3 million ineexpect ko na pupunta sa Victory City , Worldwide coverage sa news at global/internation stations lalo na sa Korea dahil nga Hanwa ang gagawa(korean company)

  11. Kung ating pagbabasehan ang nakalagay sa Bibliya malinaw na me nakalagay na IGLESYA NI CRISTO, ngunit paano maging TUNAY ang INC na si Felix Manalo namn na isang TAO ang nagtatatag nito noong July 1914 lamang. At kung ating pagbabatayan kung sino nauna, eh napakarami na ding mga sekta na mas nauna pa ng INC (ni Manalo). Ang sulat ni Apostol Pablo sa mga taga Roma (Roma 16:16) eh NAPAKALINAW na sulat nya ito sa mga taga ROMA hindi sa PILIPINAS! HEHEHEHE. ako man ay naging member ng INC (ni Manalo) pero NAMULAT NA AKO SA KATOTOHANAN at naging KATOLIKO na ngayon. MAGBASA PO TAYO history, Bible madami tayong malalaman, wag muna tayo papaKULONG SA MGA TINUTURO NG ATING MGA MINISTRO, MALINAW NA LAHAT PANLILINLANG. BAKET? inaangkin natin na ang INC na nasa Bibliya INC ni Manalo, nakakahiya po. eh sa Iglesya yan sa Roma. si Felix Manalo sino nag-utos sa knya, MALINAW SIYA LANG, para linlangin ang mga tao. AGAIN PLS MAGBASA PO TAYO, PARA MAMULAT, WAG PARANG KALABAW NA HILA HILA NG MINISTRO, NA WALANG SARILING PAG-IISIP

    1. Tolits Cabo,

      Nang magtanong ka nang "ngunit paano maging TUNAY ang INC na si Felix Manalo namn na isang TAO ang nagtatatag nito noong July 1914 lamang" ay lalong nagpatunay na NAGSISINUNGALING KA sa pagsabi nang "ako man ay naging member ng INC (ni Manalo) pero NAMULAT NA AKO SA KATOTOHANAN at naging KATOLIKO na ngayon."

      Bakit ko po nasabi? Simple lang, dahil kung TOTOONG dati kang INC, alam mo dapat ang sagot sa tanong mo dahil bago ka bautismuhan sa INC, itinuturo ito sa panahon ng pagdodoktrina kung anu-anong mga aral na sinasampalatayan ng INC at isa na nga rito ay ang muling paglitaw ng INC sa malayong silangan. Tapos, NGAYON, TINATANONG MO? Eto ba ang natutunan mo sa katoliko, ang MAGSINUNGALING?

      Sa susunod po na magsisinungaling kayo, dapat po hindi kontra-konta ang sinasabi niyo.

      Ukol naman sa pagbabasa, pinagmamalaki niyo po na nagbabasa kayo ng Bibliya. Pagbibigyan ko po kayo. Saan po nakasulat ng letra por letra sa Bibliya ang mga sumusunod:

      1. Santisima Trinidad
      2. Purgatoryo
      3. Kumpisal
      4. Pasko
      5. Undas
      6. Rosaryo
      7. Padasal sa patay
      8. Valentine's day
      9. Pista ng mga santo
      10. Novena

      Top 10 po yan...hihintayin ko po ang sagot niyo. TURUAN niyo po ako since nagmamalaki po kayo na nagbabasa kayo ng Bibliya.

      Kung wala kayong mababasa sa Bibliya...aba e KANINONG ARAL ANG SINUSUNOD NIYO? Sa Diyos po tayo huwag sa tao dahil pag aral ng tao ang sinunod niyo, WALA KAYONG IPAGKAKAIBA SA KALABAW NA HILA HILA NG MGA PARI NIYO, NA WALANG SARILING PAG-IISIP.

    2. TOLITS CABO,

      Napakaraming iglesia lumitaw na una sa Iglesia Ni Cristo na pinangasiwaan ni Ka Felix Manalo. Tama ka dun. Ang SIMPLENG TANONG: ANO BA ANG ARAL NILA TUNGKOL SA KUNG SINO AT ILAN ANG TUNAY NA DIOS NA DAPAT KILALANIN NG TAO? Ang Iglesia Ni Cristo na pinangunahan ni Ka Felix ay kawangis ng unang Iglesia Ni Cristo na pinangasiwaan ng mga apostol. dalisay at malinaw ang aral tungkol sa IISANG TUNAY NA DIOS = ANG AMA. Natupad lang sa kanya ang mga hula tungkol sa paglitaw ng INC sa mga huling araw dito sa malayong silangan. Kabaligtaran ng Iglesia Katolika na ang pangalan ay ni hindi mo mababasa kahit mula Genesis hanggang Apocalipsis (unbiblical church), na ang aral tungkol sa kung ilan at sino ang tunay na Dios ay inimbento sa kanilang mga konsilyo sa magkakaibang panahon. Nagpapanggap na monotheistic pero ang totoo polytheistic (Trinidad = taltlong persona = iisang Dios = Ama, Anak, Espiritu Santo= sa Biblia ang Ama ang IISANG TUNAY na Dios = DINAGDAGAN NG KATOLIKO= ARAL NA MISTERYO MISMO SA MGA PAPA AT PARI NILA) Mga paring nag aral ng maraming taon pero kamangmangan ang natutunan, hindi alam ang kahulugan ng salitang IISA = sa mga pari pag IISA may kasama pa...pag IISA =TATLO SILA... tanungin mo kung bakit nagkaganun ang sagot: misteryo kasi un eh....Kahit sa grade one elementary student lang di na mananalo yan sa debate. HISTORY kamo, ok history....sa kasaysayan aling iglesia ang nagpapatay ng napakaraming tao sa pamamagitan ng INQUISITION para lipulin ang di tumangap sa mga inimbento nilang aral gaya ng mga nabanggit ni Kapatid na Bee sa
      taas? HISTORY kamo SAGOT! wlang iba kundi ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA APOSTOLIKA ROMANA...nagtuturo na may INA ang TUNAY na Dios....isang talikod na aral. Tungkol naman sa Roma 16:16 ,..tama ang pagkabasa mo IGLESIA NI CRISTO at HINDING HINDI IGLESIA KATOLIKA APOSTOLIKA ROMANA SALAMAT SA PAG AMIN MO...TUTOL KA BA NA IGLESIA NI CRISTO ANG PANGALAN NG IGLESIANG sa Dios? Gayong AMINADO KA na IGLESIA NI CRISTO ang iglesiang mababasa sa Biblia inamin mo na rin na wala sa Biblia ang IGLESIA KATOLIKA...(kahit sa pabalat o takip ng Biblia).

    2. tolits cabo,

      puro pamilya ni ka FYM ang namumuno?
      Ano ba yan? pagpapahayag ng katotohanan o pagpapahayag na wala kang alam sa nangyaring botohan kung sino ang magiging next executive minister sa Iglesia?

      Sino tinutukoy mo? Si Alfie Angeles na dating ADD na naging host sa isang programa sa net25 na "ang mga nagsialis sa samahang ang dating daan"?

      Wala talagang nagconvert sa kaniya dahil bata pa lang, ayon sa salaysay niya, ay gusto na talaga niyang magpari. humanap lang siya ng paraan para mafulfill yung pangarap niya nung bata pa, at nirerespeto namin yon. Pangarap niya maging pari, hindi siya lumipat dahil sa doktrina kundi dahil sa pangarap niya.

      okay.

  13. brothers and sisters, you know that there is only one way, one truth and that is Jesus Christ, that anyone who believes in Him will be with Him in heaven. Joining a church or a certain sect will not save you, please read your bible, examine it, search for it, dont just rely on what the minister or the pastor had said. let us all be Christ centered not minister and religion centered.

    2. Tanging ang pananampalataya kay Cristo at sa kanyang ginawa sa krus ang tunay na daan patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan, at ito ay kaloob ng Diyos, hindi mula sa inyo. Hindi ito dahil sa inyong mga gawa kaya’t walang dapat ipagmalaki ang sinuman.

    4. Mark Deby,

      Efeso 2:8,9

      "Ito ay sapagkat sa biyaya kayo naligtas sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, at ito ay hindi sa inyong sarili, ito ay kaloob ng Diyos. Ito ay hindi dahil sa gawa upang hindi magmalaki ang sinuman."

      Napansin nio po ba ang sinasabi sa talatang nabanggit? "HINDI SA INYONG SARILI"
      Kung gayon, ang gawa na binabaggit sa talatang eto ay ang SARILI NATING GAWA at hindi ang mga GAWA NA PINAPAGAWA ng Panginoong Jesus para tayo ay maligtas.


      Correct me if I am wrong, pero ang pagkakaintindi ko sa sinabi ninyong, "Tanging ang pananampalataya kay Cristo...ang tunay na daan patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan" ay parang sapat na ang PANANAMPALATAYA LAMANG na siyang pinaka numero unong doktrina ng mga protestante.

      Para walang debate, SAAN SA BIBLIYA MABABASA na ang TANGING pananampalataya lamang ay LIGTAS ka na? Sabi nio nga, MAHILIG KAYO MAGBASA NG BIBLIYA AT FAST LEARNER....PATUNAYAN NIO PO.

      At para po madagdagan ang pagiging FAST LEARNER NINYO, paki-click na lang po ng link sa ibaba upang maturuan kayo ng Bibliya kung ALIN ANG GAWANG DI IKALILIGTAS at ANU-ANO ang mga GAWA NA DAPAT GAWIN NG TAO PARA MALIGTAS.

  14. INC 's AND ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE JUST 2 EXAMPLES, (THERE ARE EVEN MORE) AND THEY ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TEN COMMANDMENTS. THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY USING OR FOLLOWING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT ARE SPECIFIED IN THE BIBLE. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FOLLOWING EXACTLY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD ARE CALLED ANTI-CHRISTS, AND ANTI-CHRISTS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. THEY ARE PAGANS! PAGANS ARE THE ONES OBSERVING A POLYTHEISTIC RELIGION WHO MADE THEIR OWN RULES AND COMMANDMENTS INSTEAD OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.

    SINCE MANALO HAS MADE HIS OWN COMMANDMENTS, HE HAS DECLARED HIMSELF AS A MESSIAH (JESUS CHRIST) OR A PROPHET, BUT A FALSE ONE! AND IT IS VERY CLEAR, IF YOU CAN READ THEIR 10 COMMANDMENTS AGAIN http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393761 , THAT THE JESUS CHRIST THEY ARE REFERRING TO IS NOT THE REAL JESUS CHRIST BUT MANALO WITH AN OPEN AND CLOSE PARENTHESIS AFTER THE WORD CRISTO. SO IF YOU COME TO THINK OF IT, WHEN THEY SAY IGLESIA NI CRISTO, THEY ARE ACTUALLY REFERRING TO THE IGLESIA NI MANALO!

    IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. WALANG NAKASAAD SA BIBLIA NA WE HAVE TO OBEY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF INC, KUNDI THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
    ANYONE WHO DECLARES HIS OWN TEN COMMANDMENTS IS AN ANTI-CRIST!

    AND WHO MADE THESE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF INC? IGLESIA NI MANALO! AND MANALO IS NOT GOD!

    AND THEY ARE ALL ENFORCING ALL THESE RULES, AND IT IS VERY CLEAR AND AS EMPHASIZED IN EACH RULE THAT IF YOU DON'T OBEY EACH OF THEIR 10 COMMANDMENTS, YOU WILL GO TO HELL. SO EVERYTHING IS JUST FOCUSSED ON THE INC RULES AND I FIND THESE RULES SO PATHETHIC AND MISLEADING TO THE WORLD OF CHRISTIANISM!

    THE WORSE THING IS, THE INC's FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT "THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS THE ONE CHRIST ESTABLISHED FOR THE SALVATION OF MANKIND. IT IS FOR THE CHURCH OF THAT CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE AND THUS, IT IS THIS CHURCH THAT HE WILL SAVE ON JUDGEMENT DAY." THE BEST WAY FOR ME (MYSTICA) TO CLARIFY AND INTERPRET THIS IS - THE CHURCH OF CHRIST BEING MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE IS NOT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (MANALO) OR THE IGLESIA NI MANALO. WHEN JESUS CHRIST BUILT HIS CHURCH OR WHEN THE BIBLE WAS MADE, IGLESIA NI MANALO AND IT'S MEMBERS HAS NEVER EVEN EXISTED YET, SO HOW DARE THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT IT WAS THEIR CHURCH THAT WAS BUILT BY JESUS CHRIST BEFORE!

    Acts 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."

    Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

    IT IS VERY CLEAR ON THAT VERSE THAT JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BUILT HIS CHURCH OF GOD (CHRIST). THEREFORE, THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (MANALO) WAS BUILT BY THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO's OR THE INC's! KELANGAN PA BANG I-MEMORIZE YAN?

    AND THE WORST OF ALL, ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD "BUT NOT GOD" IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF HIS MIND. IT'S LIKE SAYING THAT "MY PUPPY IS THE SON OF MY DOG, BUT HE'S NOT A DOG!"

    ANYONE WHO PREACHES A FALSE DOCTRINE IS AN ANTICHRIST AND ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS THE PREACHING OF A FALSE MESSIAH OR PROPHET WITH A FALSE DOCTRINE IS ALSO CALLED AN ANTICHRIST!

    For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
    —Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22 NRSV (1989)
