Bible verses You'll never hear in church!

Sorry you can only blame yourself for your own behavior. You and Elias have been on here constantly spewing hatred, profanities and racial slurs not me. Your behavior reflects as a proper representation of Iglesia Ni Cristo and let me be brutally honest. Were I a member of Iglesia Ni Cristo I would not be happy with a fellow member going on forums and constantly using profanities and racist slurs, I would be ashamed and angry at how poorly that person was making my church look.

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.

continued ...

continued ...

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.

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.

"Why not publish your own Bible?"
by Pasugo Mailbox on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 11:00am ·
YOUR PREACHERS USE different translations of the Bible in delivering a sermon. I was thinking that you do this to suit your own set of reasoning. But upon speaking to a member of your Church I was informed that it is necessary to use different translations of the Bible for there are Bible translations that contain mistranslated verses. If this is true, Why don't you publish your own Bible and put all the correct translation of the verses in it? And given the premise that there are translations that contain errors, how are we to know which one is right?

Editor's reply:


Your suggestion that the Iglesia ni Cristo publish her own Bible with all the correct translation of mistranslated verses is both well-meaning and appealing. It would be truly convenient and handy to have just one Bible with all the verses that we cite or quote from different translations gathered in one compendium.

By publishing her own Bible, the Iglesia ni Cristo will in effect have a "sanitized" version of the Scriptures—tailor made for her teachings. This is the very thing that the Iglesia ni Cristo avoids, that is, to be accused of manipulating the Scriptures to suit her doctrines.

How, then, are we to know which particular translation of the Bible to use, for example in delivering a sermon? Apostle Paul states the guiding principle to the doctrines of the Bible, thus:

"This is what we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words." (I Cor.2:13, New International version)

Therefore, there must be no contradiction between the different version of the Bible because spiritual things are compared to spiritual truths. But one may ask, "Who is in a position to compare spiritual things to spiritual truths?" Are all preachers that we see and hear nowadays are qualified to compare spiritual things with spiritual truths, more so preach the gospel? Apostle Paul answers us, thus:

"And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom. 10:15, New King James Version)

A preacher of the Gospel therefore must be sent by God. Why must he be sent by God? Apostle John states, thus:

"The one whom God has send speaks God's words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.(John 3:34, Today's English Version)

Moreover, the messenger sent by God is entrusted with the ministry and message of reconciliation (II Cor. 5:18-20).

Therefore, even if there are translations of the Bible that contain mistranslated verses, the commissioned preachers of God can identify them because they have been given God's spirit for them to understand His will written in the Bible (I Cor. 2:12).

Nobody cares about the cherry picked three minute clips INC puts on their tv show! I want to see an entire sermon! And not some still picture of him with audio that could be anyone!
Why are you desperately trying to change the subject? You were just days ago spewing repeated profanities this shows all the true face of Iglesia Ni Cristo you're propoganda changes nothing about your behavior. Your pitiful church can't even explain why Jesus failed to accomplish any of the main prophecies of the Messiah stated in the old testament! You clearly have said Jesus own teachings do not apply to you, remember? You're just not a Christian religion sorry but you're not. Even Eduardo manalo doesn't attend most services. Paycheck Na Lang!

The INC CULT today was not like before thats why i left the cult. Now it concentrates more on collections because of that Philippine Arena. This was a huge debt of the cult thats why Manalo was so irritated.

... you are in the cult, man ... culto ni soriano ....

Still waiting on those clips of Eduardo Manalo giving a full sermon not just a brief statement. Sheesh it's harder for them to produce then membership numbers! Lmfao

Why is it when you ask an INC member such simple questions or requests they can never provide you with a simple answer? Like...

How many members does INC have?
A: Uhhhhh what does it's matter!! Stop asking nonsense questions!! It's impossible to say because it's always changing!! Just know it's always growing but we can't show membership numbers just believe what Manalo says always it's the word of God!!!

I was just wanting a number but since you're unable to provide that, how many Chapels total does INC have now?
A: Uhhhhh lots of chapels! The bulldozer never sleeps! It's impossible to count past 5600!! Numbers above 5600 have no meaning nobody can possibly understand such numbers!! Stop asking about exact numbers because that dampens our wild exaggeration! Look instead at the sports dome for Jesus where Manalo will watch boxing and mma matches! Jesus said forget about helping the poor!! God needs a sports dome for boxing betting drinking and sexy almost naked ring girls!!

Hm well God works in mysterious ways. Can you even explain why Jesus failed to complete most of the old testament messianic prophecies?
A: Manalo says he did enough and that's that!!

"On being baptized to be saved"
by Pasugo Mailbox on Saturday, April 7, 2012 at 1:36pm ·
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE in attending your worship service was due to the promise I made to my roommate. During the worship service, I did not expect to see members solemnly praying. This scene touched my heart, more so when the minister expounded on the true Church which Christ built and which He will save. I learned that one must enter the fold to be saved from God's punishment come Judgment Day.

My confusion set in when I heard Jesus Christ's promise to His chosen people.
In John 14:2-3, He stated: "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you maybe also." (New King James Version).

I do not doubt Christ's promise because every promise He spoke will come true. But how about those who believe in Him but have not been baptized? Will they receive salvation or eternal life on Judgment Day?

Editor's reply:

Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior is, indeed, very important. Apostle John wrote that "whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (Jn. 3:16, New International Version). On the other hand, those who do not believe in God's only begotten Son have already been condemned (Jn. 3:18).

Thus, we firmly embrace and uphold the teaching of the Scriptures to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, believing in Christ is not all one has to do in order to be saved. The Bible records this, thus:

"So Jesus said to those believed in him,'If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples'." (Jn. 8:31, Today's English Version)

Believing in Christ is not enough. For one to be considered His true disciple, he must obey the teaching of the Savior. What is Christ's teaching for a man to become His disciple? One must be baptized to be considered as Christ's disciple (Mt. 28:19).

Those who believe in Christ and have been baptized are the ones assured of salvation as affirmed by the Savior Himself:

"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned" (Mk. 16:15-16, NIV)

Indeed, it is necessary for a man to receive baptism—and not only to simply believe and accept Christ as personal Savor—in order to be saved.

However, not everyone who claims they have been baptized are assured of salvation. Those who have been baptized according to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ are found in one body:

"For we were all baptized by one spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greek, slave or free—and we are all given the one Spirit to drink." (I Cor.. 12:13, Ibid.)

The one body Apostle Paul referred to is the Church of which Christ is the head (Col. 1:18). This is the Church of Christ or Iglesia ni Cristo (Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation).

Thus, those who have complied with the Savior's command to be baptized and thus be saved are not scattered in different religions but are gathered in one body, in one Church—the Church of Christ.
