Extracted from Philippine Embassy, USA (emphasis mine)
Established by “Ka” (Brother) Felix Y. Manalo in Sta. Ana, Manila, on July 14, 1914, INC has grown to become one of the country’s biggest religious denominations.
The church has millions [how many millions???] of members in its more than 5,400 congregations in the Philippines and in 90 countries worldwide [composed of Overseas Filipino Workers]...
"...When Ka Felix Manalo passed away on April 12, 1963, his post was taken over by his son, Ka Eraño G. Manalo. Upon Ka Eraño’s demise on August 31, 2009, his eldest son, Bro. Eduardo “Ka Ed” V. Manalo succeeded him to become INC’s current Executive Minister." [Angelo is next in line when Ka Eduardo dies...]
bitter?
ReplyDeleteFactual!
DeleteTruthful!
Thank you media!
Nonmembers and detractors of the INC always say that INC is just a business or whatever of the Manalo’s. And they say that it is evident that Executive Ministers of the INC even in the beginning are all of Manalo’s.
DeleteOne of these examples is this, the poorly informed owner of philippinepoliticsreligion.blogspot.com says,
"The INC administration is being inherited by a Manalo offspring from their ascendant. I am not going to discuss any biblical topic about the religious dynasty inside the INC (since I don't consider myself a religious debater) but I cannot fail to notice that the INC members truly behold very dearly the Manalo Family. Any disrespectful comments to any member of the Manalo family may result pressure/harassment by the INC members. INC members even considers Felix Manalo as angel which is part of their main doctrine.
(1) A dynasty is a succession of people belonging to the
same family, who, through various means and forms maintain power, influence or authority over the course of generations
(2) dynasty (Noun) A sequence of powerful leaders in the same family
Is religious dynasty wrong? - Ask the Catholic Church
Is religious dynasty right? Ask Iglesia Ni Cristo
The advantage of religious dynasty (politically and financially) to a specific family is unimaginable. A president even declared a holiday on the day of internment of Eraño Manalo. This is totally a political favor given to the politically powerful Manalo family, an obvious favor given to a specific religious group over the other religious denomination. Renaming streets after a family member of the Manalo family is another obvious result of the power of the religious dynasty of Manalo family. I wonder if Eduardo Manalo dies,
Who will be the next lucky Manalo family member that will inherit the Iglesia Ni Cristo administration?
Who will be the next Manalo family member that will inherit their family jewels and legacy?"
But what is the TRUTH?? The real happening why the first, second and now, the current Executive Minister of the INC came from the family of Bro. Felix? Do they mean it or just accidentally? Well, we will find it out if there’s really a Dynasty or whatsoever myth and allegations of the nonmembers and detractors.
On Bro. Erano G. Manalo,
“On the of January, 1953, Bro. Felix Manalo called a meeting of INC District Ministers (Then also called Division Ministers). Bro. Erano then the Church General treasurer, was elected Bro. Felix eventual successor to the office of Executive Minister…”
“ By Providential will he was elected by Church elders in 1953 to succeed Bro. Felix Y. Manalo as the Church of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo) Executive Minister in the event of the demise of God’s messenger…” Pasugo Sep 2009 Issue
"...As to CHOOSING OF THE CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR, succession was done THROUGH AN ELECTION attended by the Church ministers in the house of worship in Riverside, San Juan, Metro Manila (formerly Rizal) on 28th of January 1953. Three names were cast, to wit: Bro. Erano G. Manalo, Isaias Samson Sr. and Isaias Reyes. The congregation of ministers overwhelmingly supported Brp. Erano Manalo in carrying on the administration of the church after Bro. Felix Manalo..." Pasugo March-April 1992 issue
OTHER PROOF/S:
"In 1953, ten years before his father's death, Eraño Manalo was elected successor to his father as Executive Minister..."
"...He passed the leadership of the church to his son, Eraño de Guzman Manalo who was elected unanimously by the council of elders..." wikipedia, nowpublic.com, malaya.com and most of sites/blogs
"...his son Erano G. Manalo was elected to the top post of the Iglesia ni. Cristo by its Council of Ministers only two weeks after the Sugo's death... " R. Reed
On Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo,
Delete“The Church Of Christ is so blessed because even though God called Bro. Erano Manalo to his much-needed reast, he heas placed a successor upon whom he bestowed with an impressive capability to lead and administer it: Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo, the present Executive Minister of the INC. Well respected, well known, and well loved by the whole church, he is now our overall Executive Administrator . Under the tutelage of his father, he had long been prepared for this task, having been unanimously elected in 1994 by the assembly of district ministers to be Deputy Executive Minister and hence successor in case of such an eventuality…” Pasugo Sep 2009 issue
OTHER PROOF/S:
"...As of 1994 his son Eduardo is INC's Deputy Executive..." nikkonacion.livejournal.com
Now, what’s the real TRUTH? Bro. Erano and Bro. Eduardo did not became the Executive Ministers of the INC because of the interest of one another or because of what they say “Dynasty” and whatsoever. It is because of the ELECTION of the church elders or district ministers in the INC! But still, detractors will say that the Pasugo authors or the INC itself is just making lies to their members to HIDE or to COVER the TRUTH to them. Hmmmm?? I will not be surprised if they will say that because they were “bitters” and “insecure” because of what the INC achieves.
That’s why they are aggressive to make lies, propagandas and make stand for their allegations and accusations to the INC.
What else would they say? That they make researches that prove their myths… That INC is just a business that controlled by Manalo’s and whatsoever…
But you must see their references! Came from mislead information like getting it from other faith who wants to debunk INC, ahm... From the statements written on publications/ books from expelled INC members/ ministers, what else? From nonmembers who are just guessing the information in the INC… tsk.tsk.

According to its REGISTRATION at the PHILIPPINE EXCHANGE COMMISSION, the IGLESIA NI KRISTO or IGLESIA NI CRISTO was founded by FELIX MANALO, therefore he as the Executive Minister and Founder has the SOLE DUTY to protect and to promote HIS CHURCH according to his precepts and it will exist as long as there are supporters or followers!
DeleteKahit ano pang sabihin niya: LAHAT ng mga iba pang mga TATAG NA IGLESIA ay pawang REGISTERED!!! They were built LATELY.
But the CATHOLIC CHURCH was there even before the PHILIPPINES was re-discovered by the Spaniards. It was already there even the United Kingdom became a kingdom or any other modern government was established.
yes, the CATHOLIC CHURCH is the HISTORICAL CHURCH OF CHRIST from the beginning according to PASUGO Abril 1966, p. 46
Yung po bang ebanghelyo galing kay San Juan ay para sa mga taong naniniwala na ang Panginoong Jesus as tao lamang. Itoy isinulat para patunayan na Siya ay "bugtong" na Anak ng Diyos (John 1:1 at John 3:16). Kung siya po ay bugtong na Anak ng Diyos bakit sinasabing "tao lamang siya" ng INC? Tingnan din po ang Awit 2:7.
