MIND CONTROL AND BRAINWASHING BY IGLESIA NI CRISTO
“Each member …should submit himself to the Administration of the Church in order to be saved” (Pasugo, Jan 1976, p.9).
“For opposing the Administration of the Church is tantamount to opposing not only Christ but also God” (Pasugo, Jan 1976, p. 190).
“Thus Christ Jesus is Savior, not because he is God but because God saves through him” (Pasugo, July-August 1991, p. 3).
“Let not forget this Gospel Truth: Christ saves through the Church of Christ” (Pasugo, Sept. 1974, p. 4).
Question: Does God save through Christ or Christ save through the Iglesia Ni Cristo church that Manalo created in 1913? If Christ saves only through the Iglesia Ni Cristo beginning in 1913 and all others are evil and of the devil since the days of the Apostles; what of the souls between the days of the Apostles and the time Manalo started his new religion? There was no Iglesia Ni Cristo and its Thedotus heresy in existence.
Look at these statements:
“It is only through his dear Church that man can receive redemption and forgiveness of sins” (Pasugo, Jan 1997, p.4).
“We need the Church just as much as we need Christ” (Pasugo, March 1970, p.11).
Of course when the writers say Church they mean Iglesia Ni Cristo.
“In God’s scheme of salvation, Christ and his the Church of Christ are inseparable. We must accept Christ and the Church of Christ” (Pasugo, Sept/Oct 1988, p. 19).
