Proof that INC REQUIRES you to make VOLUNTARY offerings, and keeps records! IMPORTANT FOR INDOCTRINEES!



This is a scanned image of the yearly booklet you must bring weekly to INC services to make contributions towards your yearly Thanksgiving offering. You will not be told about this while you are a Bible Student... this will come as a surprise. Believe me, I experienced it first hand. This is just an example of how much they are lovers of YOUR money. Voluntary offerings are mandatory!

God AND Savior

Don't be caught worshipping the idol that Manalo created and called it GOD. Don't be caught putting your trust in Manalo for salvation. There is only one SAVIOR:

Hosea 13:4
"But I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Savior except me."

Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.

Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hopethe glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Romans 9:5
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

God is your Savior. Apart from Him, there is none. What does that make Jesus Christ? He is our Savior. He is our God. He is our Lord. THE LORD HIMSELF TESTIFIES TO THIS FACT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT! THERE IS NO SAVIOR BUT HIMSELF.

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

God does NOT change. If he says he is the savior and apart from him there is no other, than that is the truth. Only GOD can be Savior because GOD does NOT change.

Malachi 3:6
I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

Who is the Last Messenger?

Hebrews 8:6-7
But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.

Belief that Manalo is the last messenger is belief in a third covenant. Why would God send Manalo if there was nothing wrong with Christ? The "Last" according to Apostle Paul surely means "superior." Yet, Jesus Christ is superior to the Old Covenant and he was sent by God. There is NO NEED for Manalo because we know Christ finished his work.

John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

John 19:30 clearly displays that Jesus' work is "finished." Jesus said so himself! Yet Felix Manalo says that no, there needed to be a last messenger to finish Jesus' work because Jesus' church fell to apostasy. That contradicts Jesus Christ's own words as we can see in Matthew 16:18.

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.

See! The gates of Hades (which means Hell) will not overcome the church Jesus Christ builds!

Hebrews 1:1-4
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Notice how the author says "In these last days." The last days have been in existence since the death and resurrection of Christ. How, then, can the INC claim that "in these last days, God speaks through the Church administration by virtue of the comissioning of Brother Felix Y. Manalo as last messenger"? That is making Manalo equal to Christ and is severely blasphemous. Christ IS the last messenger in these last days! Do you see what is happening? Manalo is fooling the members of his church! Manalo is obstructing the radiance of God's glory by putting himself in between you and God!

Again, we must refer back to Matthew 16:18. Manalo puts himself in between you and God. Just by saying that Christ's church fell to apostasy, you are calling Jesus a liar! He said in Matthew 16:18 that his church would not be overcome by the gates of Hades yet Manalo says they were as soon as the last of the original apostles died.

Matthew 7:24-27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

We can read in Matthew 16:18 that Jesus built his church on rock. Therefore even when the rains come down, the streams rise, and the winds of apostasy and falsehood beat against the Church... the fact remains that Christ built his church on rock and it COULD NOT fall. True believers remained and kept up the spiritual foundation and fellowship of Christ's church. the INC likes to pretend that after the apostles died, wolves entered the church and completely destroyed it. Wolves had been inside the church since BEFORE the apostles died! Why else would the apostle John write so much to stay away from false prophets? The fact is that true believers believe no matter what tides strike against the Church. The church will always be in existence because Christ built it on ROCK. Saying that the church was COMPLETELY apostasized is calling Jesus Christ a fool who built his church on sand.

INC friends, we are trying to show you the truth that is inside the Bible! Do not be fooled by the Church Adminstration, they are merely feeding their own appetites while you work hard to serve them and give them money. It is unpardonable! You must allow Jesus Christ to free you from such slavery. INCers, you will be in our prayers.

Role of Felix Manalo (Saleem)

http://www.network54.com/Forum/84590/message/987743423/Role+of+Felix+Manalo...

The INC claims that Manalo’s way of playing his role was essentially the same of that of Christ. Thus:

Pasugo July 1965, p.12:“Parehong-pareho ang espiritu ni Cristo sa diwa ni Kapatid na Felix Manalo sa pamamaraan ng pagdadala ng tungkuling tinanggap sa Diyos.”

TRANSLATION: The spirit of Christ is the exact likeness of the essence of Felix Manalo in the way of performing the role received from God.”

Let us compare:

Hebrews 9:14“how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God,…”

PASUGO May 1964, p.1:“Inihandog ng Diyos ang kanyang sarili sa kanyang huling Sugo upang dumiyos sa kanya. Samakatwid ang kanyang may Dios na huling araw na ito’y ang huling sugo – si Kapatid na Felix Manalo.”

Christ offered himself for God…while God offered Himself for Manalo?…I shudder at the thought.

The Iglesia ni Cristo Exposed Introduction

This blog was created specifically for people who have had any form of contact with the Iglesia ni Cristo. That means: current members, former members, current indoctrinees, former indoctrinees, friends and families of INC members, current members that feel something is wrong with the INC but feel like they cannot get out because of fear of their family/friends' reactions, basically any one that has had contact or is in the INC is welcome to read this site.

We offer Biblical reasons why the INC is not the ONLY true church of God. We offer historical reason for why Felix Manalo is not the "Last Messenger of God" and that 1914 was not the beginning of the "last days." As this site grows, we will amass many sources of personal experience and investigation into the INC and it will be a great source for people to learn and make their own judgements.

This site is in no way affiliated with any church. We do not believe in the ADD and Soriano either but we have personally never had any experience with them. We believe the ADD is also a Filipino cult but we do not have the experience or knowledge to run a similiar site debunking their myths. We know the INC because we have lived as INC for so long. Many times anti-INC people will be called Ang Daating Daan (ADD) but that could not be further from the truth in this case. So, let it be known, that if there is any comment accusing us of being ADD, it is a lie. The contributors of this site will largely be Protestant or Catholic.
