Pasugo: Christ is the Savior and He has Blood

"This is what the Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, emphasized in his visit to Tacloban City on March 14, 2014... [he] comforted the brethren...

"Since the Church Of Christ is what was redeemed by the Savior's blood (Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation), God's people should give utmost importance to their remaining true members of the Church.

"The Executive Minister said the benediction. ...to the Iglesia Ni Cristo's new established resettlement project in Barangay Langit, Alan-alang... This housing project... intended [for] residents, members of the Church Of Christ affected by the super typhoon.

Pasugo: One Flock One Church is the Iglesia Ni Cristo ~Those Who Died for the Lord

"... a life of eternal and incomparable bliss awaits a faithful servant of God... yet only the true servants who remained patient and faithful in obeying the commandments of God until the end are assured and given by God the exclusive right to dwell therein: 'Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.  Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 'Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on..'' (Rev. 24:12-13 King James Version, emphasis ours).

"The Bible is very specific as to who the blessed servants are--those "who die in the Lord."

"The sheep that Christ recognizes are His own are those who are in His flock; "and other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:16, Ibid.)

"It may seem a little harsh teaching that there is only one "flock" or one true Church and only the members thereof are recognized by Christ as His true servants, but this is the very truth recorded in the Holy Scriptures... follow the Savior by entering the flock or the fold which is the Church Of Christ: 'If anyone serves Me, let his follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also...' (John 12:26, NKJV).

"God promised that , 'A faithful man will abound with blessings' and the greatest blessing is 'the corwn of life' (Prov. 28:20, NKJV; Rev. 2:10, Ibid.)"

Pasugo: Two Lords One God Doctrine ~ Jesus God Our Savior

"The fold or flock  where those who have entered through Him are found in the Church of Christ (Acts 20:28 Lamsa Translation). 

"Iglesia Ni Cristo members are guaranteed of the permanent solution to man's gravest problem – the promsed salvation from the impending doom in the lake of fire.

"Joining the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ in attesting to the pressing importance of seeking one's salvation, the apostle encouraged the Christians to 'run straight toward the goal...' (Phil. 3:14, Good News Bible)

"... Church Of Christ members share their faith to others greatly considering what Apostle Paul says: 'That is good.  It pleases God our Savior. (I Tim. 2:3-4, New International Reader's Version).  

"... the very truth taught by the Savior Himself that man should enter the sheepfold, which is the Church Of Christ, through Him Who is the door.

"They truly acknowledge that as they do good and, more importantly, as they become rich in good works -- like the giving of offering and sharing their faith, they are storing up a good foundation for them to take hold of eternal life (I Tim. 6;18-19, New King James Version)"
