Iglesia Ni Cristo vs Evangelical Christianity

One of the large religious groups in the Philippines is Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ). This video answers the question "What is Iglesia Ni Cristo?" and compares the beliefs of this nontrinitarian group with Evangelical Christianity.

It sounds like Mr. Manalo wanted to be Muslim but didn’t want to adopt Arab culture so he just made Islamic Christianity.

[vercingetorix]

So many of these new religions are basically just copy and pasting Islam, with a slightly more elevated Jesus. It’s always Mr. X is here to clear up distortion of Jesus’s message. Jesus is always considered more important than the new “prophet, ” but Jesus is never God.

Islam, INC, Mormonism, etc..

I really appreciate his calm and unbiased approach to his videos, but like it’s so wild that he can do that! Good on you man, really really enjoy your content!

The Philippines was a Catholic nation due to spanish colonialism, but it is also breeding ground of many protestants denomination that has spread throughout the world. Aglipayan Church a breakaway church from the Catholic Church is now in full communion with Anglican Church

Thank you for making this video! There are about 12 or so of these churches on our island of Oahu, so it's helpful to gain insight into their beliefs. Keep up the amazing work! I always love watching your videos so that I can have a better understanding of others' beliefs in order to hopefully try and reconcile some differences on the ground. Excellent content!

this channel is so great dude. such a great job laying out disparate doctrines in a succinct manner

[ANTICULT]

Claiming that Felix Manalo is an angel and last messenger and Jesus Christ is only a mere man? What kind of doctrine is this? Nonsense theology.

[MgaTalunanKayo]

Works-based salvation always leads to pride in doing the work.

[jabneeldesign]

anytime you based your salvation to your religion or organization it always fall to a cult.
Jesus died for His church not any religious group or affiliation.

[mrdeeds]

The denial of the Trinity and Manalo's claim to be prophet or Angel from the East should be automatic red flags. So many souls lost.

[changemymind]

So basically heaven is going to be made up of 98% Filipinos. Ok, now I get it.

Thank you so much for this very objective comparison between the two believe systems. Keep up the good work! Blessings from Munich, Germany!

I am not sure how anyone can 100% be sure their theology is correct. I grew up between Baptist and Presbyterian churches, attended a 'People of Destiny International' church in my 20s (pretty Charismatic) and have read up on many denominations. I am 100% certain of one thing. No one denomination has all the details correct. For me, the trinity, salvation through Christ's shed blood and salvation by faith, not works are the only theological points that I am really cling to as being very probably collect. They are the things I choose to believe and cling to. For me they are bedrock. Honestly so many ernest believers dissagree on so many things. They all must hold true to what they believe. My kids were baptized in a Lutheran church as tiny tots, and later confirmed. I was baptized in a Baptist church at 13, but dedicated in a Presbyterian church as an infant. Every one of those churches was trying to do what the Bible says. I am getting old. I still see so many dogmatic about each and every detail, and fighting for them. I would rather throw myself on God's mercy, knowing that only he has the whole picture.

I find it deeply unsettling that a church would demand all its members vote for the same candidate in every election. Even more so if the church didn't consistently vote for the same party every time. It makes the church's leader look like he wants politicians to actively grovel before him, so to speak.

My uncle is a high ranking official in INC and for years he's trying to convert us, all I can say is that keep on trying, uncle A for effort though.

[hiraethreizu]

I was a member of this church. It was a difficult decision but I'm glad I left, especially after reading the bible. I hope their members would read the bible, and they would start to find the gaps throughout the 25 doctrines. And yes, Jesus is proclaimed as God and described with God's attributes throughout the bible from Old Testaments up to New Testaments. That one crucial gap alone made me very glad I left. My heart goes out for their members blinded from the truth.

The Lord Jesus Christ is both man and God. These Igelsias are lost.

[alvinsantander]

If you overview what INC believes in when it comes to the deity of Jesus (as the ONE True God in human form Who dwelt among us), they stated that Jesus isn't God. That's HERESY in its core! That's the VERY REASON why Christ was Crucified! Because the government under the congregation of Pontius Pilate (Roman Governor of Judea 26BC ) had to crucify Jesus because He claimed that He is God and they called Him (Jesus) a blasphemer.

Could you do a video please of the old believers
