Who Baptized Bro. Felix Manalo?

-->

IS BRO. FELIX MANALO BAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH?

If yes, WHO BAPTIZED HIM?

If not, SURELY HE WILL NOT ATTAIN SALVATION AS THE CHURCH BELIEVES AND IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT ONE MUST BE BAPTIZED TO BE SAVED!

Well then, Is Bro. Felix Manalo, BAPTIZED OR NOT BAPTIZED?

From the Pasugo, it says:

It is true that Bro. Felix Manalo was not baptized into the Church of Christ because no one was there immediately preceding his work to baptize him. Remember that the Church of Christ fell in the way of apostasy and the emergence of the Church of Christ led by Bro. Felix Manalo is its restoration. Hence, who will have to baptize him?

The same is true with John the Baptist who was called and sent by God for a specific work and who was not baptized. Yet, John the Baptist is God’s messenger.

Our Lord Jesus Christ receive baptism through a messenger sent by God, one who preceded him and prepared his way—John the Baptist (Mt.3:3).

The baptism that our Lord Jesus Christ received is different from the kind of baptism he commanded to his apostles. The baptism performed by the apostles was for the forgiveness of sins, and for making disciples of those who received it (Acts 2:38, Mt. 28:19). Christ, who is sinless and was made lord (I Pt. 2:21-22, Acts 2:36) was baptized not for that purpose but to “fulfill all righteousness”. (Mt. 3:13-15).

On the other hand, it was God himself who cleansed Bro. Felix Manalo so that he would be made worthy to preach his message of salvation in these last days. The almighty declared:

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;and I will not remember your sins.” (Is. 43:25, New King James Version)

The point that Bro. Felix Manalo was not baptized into the Church of Christ does not in any way disqualify him from being a true messenger of God. His commissioning as a true preacher of the gospel in these last days has been attested by the various prophecies written in the Holy Scriptures, one of which is Revelation 7:2-3:

“Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” (New king james version)

There are many other prophecies in the bible that specifically pertain to the commissioning of Bro. Felix Manalo, such as Isaiah 41:9-10, 14:16, 43:5-6, 46:11 and Rev. 14:9-14. Hence, although no one baptized him into the Church of Christ, his commissioning is from God through the fulfillment of the prophecies recorded in the Holy Scriptures. He is a true messenger who was chosen to start God’s work of Salvation in these last days.

Yes, BRO. FELIX MANALO IS NOT BAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST!

But Wait,

Dont panic,

And give comments right away...

The thing is, WHY DOES BRO. FELIX NOT BAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH?

It is like the article about "Who ordained Bro. Felix Manalo?"

But in this time, Bro. Felix was not baptized because:

"no one was there immediately preceding his work to baptize him,... who will have to baptize him?"

Saying that Bro. Felix Manalo is not a true messenger of God and not be saved, is also saying that JOHN THE BAPTIST (the one who baptized our Lord Jesus Christ) is not a true messenger and therefore not be saved!

Here is what thy word is truth.com says:

Question #86
Who baptized John the Baptist?

Can you tell me who baptized John the Baptist?

The Answer:

The short answer is “No.” The Bible does not say who baptized John and any other answer would be pure speculation. As a matter of fact, there is no record of John’s being baptized at all. John was the divinely appointed forerunner of Christ. Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6; Matthew 10:17-13. His baptism was from God. Matthew 21:24-26. There is no reason to believe that the divinely prophesied and appointed forerunner needed to receive the baptism that he was sent to administer.

See? Even John the baptist wasnt baptized, but then does not mean that he is not a true messenger of God and will not be saved. It is God who CLEANSED BRO. FELIX, i will again quote:

“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;and I will not remember your sins.” (Is. 43:25, New King James Version)

Prophecies about Bro. Felix, the truth about what he preached and so his commissioning from
God to continue the work of salvation is enough for us to believe that he is indeed God's Last Messenger!

Bro. Felix is baptized or not, WE DONT CARE! And it doesnt mean that he is already a FAKE "god's messenger" only because he was not baptized, and even he was not ordained. The thing is, he preached the truth that was written in the bible, and the truth that YOU BECOME ONE OF THE DEVIL'S INSTRUMENT TO MAKE SUCH LIES SAYING THAT HE IS NOT A TRUE MESSENGER OF GOD!

CASE CLOSED!
