Download or read book Understanding the Iglesia Ni Cristo written by Anne C. Harper and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Does the Iglesia ni Cristo really teach that their building will go up in the rapture? - Do they use coercive methods to make sure their members give at least a tithe of their income to the church? - Have confrontational methods of evangelism been effective in reaching them? - Is there a better way? The answers to these and other questions may surprise you. In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched new book, evangelical scholar Dr. Anne Harper, who, with her husband, George, is a Manila based missionary with Action International Ministries. describes the history, teachings, growth and development of the Iglesia ni Cristo since its founding in 1914 and explains why this group has endured for the last 100 years and why it will not likely fade away. Unlike other evangelical publications, Dr. Harper treats the Iglesia ni Cristo with respect and kindness, while being careful not to agree with or endorse their teachings. Thoroughly documented, yet highly readable, this book will go a long way to removing the false stereotypes that many born again Christians have of this group and challenges to rethink our attitudes towards them and respond in a biblical manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) church started in the Philippines in 1914 and has a Unitarian theology. It loudly proclaims it is the only "True Church" and all who refuse to convert will suffer eternal torment in the "lake of fire." It backs up its authoritative claim by alleging the Bible contains dozens of prophecies of their founder (Felix Manalo), their church, and the Philippines. Its ministers are notorious for their hostility and aggressiveness towards ministers of other faiths.The Iglesia Ni Cristo Under a Microscope is the first work to systematically examine the beliefs and practices of this church. It shows every so-called prophetic proof of the INC is a misrepresentation of the Holy Bible. It also provides specific passages showing the Holy Bible teaches Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is also God.Anyone regardless of faith or lack thereof who want to know the truth about the INC faith will find value in this work.
Download or read book Why I Am Not an Iglesia Ni Cristo written by MR Edward K. Watson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC started in the Philippines in 1914 and has a Unitarian theology. What makes it unique is it boasts the Bible contains dozens of prophecies of their founder (Felix Manalo), their church, and the Philippines. It loudly proclaims it's the only "True Church" and all who refuse to convert will suffer eternal torment in the "lake of fire." It also imposes a level of control over its members that is abnormal in today's free societies, such as dictating to whom to vote, imposing public shunning and humiliation of disciplined or former members, and "discouraging" its members from conducting independent Bible study. This book examines and refutes every INC claim of prophetic fulfillment. It scrutinizes the INC assertion of exclusive authority to baptize and establishes the utter futility of its baptism since Felix Manalo cannot give what he does not have. This book also examines the Bible's teachings on the person of Jesus Christ and provides specific passages demonstrating the Bible teaches he is also "God" in addition to being a man. Lastly, it also provides proof that the Bible teaches the Holy Spirit is a sentient entity who is also "God."
