Felix Manalo HIMSELF concluded that none of the existing churches remained faithful

“Divine Revelation In November 1913, Brother Felix locked himself in his dimly-lit room and began poring over all the religious literature he had accumulated. For three days and three nights, he immersed himself in an intensive study and reflection of the doctrines of various churches and compared their beliefs with the Bible. His exhaustive study of religions and the Bible led him to the conclusion that none of the existing churches then remained faithful with the biblical truth. Therefore, none of them is the true religion. His meditations assured him that God was commissioning him to preach the true Church of Christ.” (PASUGO God’s Message, July-September 1994, p.11-12).

"God had allowed His people in these last days to go through years of persecution, adversities, and various trials, to show and underscore the realization of His promise to His Messenger and to the works He had entrusted him... so many have tried relentlessly to oppose the work that God entrusted to His messenger in these last days."

'From the far east will I bring your offspring, and from the far west I will gather you.'  (Isa. 43:5, Moffat Translation)

The World Almanac identifies the Far West as "California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii.." On July 27, 1968, this prophesy began to be fulfilled when brethren from the Philippines... migrated to Hawaii... Brother Eraño proceeded immediately to San Francisco, California to officiate the worship service... 'Gathering Work' happened when the Church Of Christ... has reached its glorious posture in the Far East as also prophesied by God: 'Till in the far west men have awe of the Eternal, and in the east they see his brilliant deeds; for his vengeance pours out like a pent-up stream, driven by a blast of wind.'

Sa dahon ng kasaysayan ay hindi na mapipigtal;

Ang kanyang kasaysayang punung-puno ng tagumpay."

“At sino nga ba ang gumagawa ng mga leksiyong itinuturo ng mga ministro, maging sa mga pagsamba, mga doktrina o mga Propaganda?  Ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo.”

-PASUGO May 1961, p.4

“Papaano magiging kawan o Iglesia ni Cristo itong mga tupa ni Jesus na nagmumula sa Pilipinas, hindi naman naparito si Cristo noong 1914? Ang sabi ni Jesus, Juan 10:16, 'magkakaroon sila ng isang Pastor'. Sino itong isang Pastor ng Iglesia na lilitaw sa Pilipinas? Ang pinagsabihan ng Dios: 'Huwag kang matakot, sapagkat ako'y sumasaiyo: (Isaias 43:5).

“Sino itong pastor ng Iglesiang lilitaw sa Pilipinas? Ito ang huling tinatawag o sugo na kasama ng Dios. Ito ang Kapatid na Felix Manalo. Noong sabihin ni Cristo na siya'y mayroon pang ibang mga tupa na wala sa kulungan at sila'y gagawing isang kawan at magkakaroon ng isang pastor, noon pa'y mayroon na siyang karapatan."

-PASUGO Mayo 1961, p. 22
