Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Does the Iglesia ni Cristo really teach that their building will go up in the rapture? - Do they use coercive methods to make sure their members give at least a tithe of their income to the church? - Have confrontational methods of evangelism been effective in reaching them? - Is there a better way? The answers to these and other questions may surprise you. In this groundbreaking and meticulously researched new book, evangelical scholar Dr. Anne Harper, who, with her husband, George, is a Manila based missionary with Action International Ministries. describes the history, teachings, growth and development of the Iglesia ni Cristo since its founding in 1914 and explains why this group has endured for the last 100 years and why it will not likely fade away. Unlike other evangelical publications, Dr. Harper treats the Iglesia ni Cristo with respect and kindness, while being careful not to agree with or endorse their teachings. Thoroughly documented, yet highly readable, this book will go a long way to removing the false stereotypes that many born again Christians have of this group and challenges to rethink our attitudes towards them and respond in a biblical manner.

Book Synopsis Why I Am Not an Iglesia Ni Cristo by : MR Edward K. Watson
Download or read book Why I Am Not an Iglesia Ni Cristo written by MR Edward K. Watson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC started in the Philippines in 1914 and has a Unitarian theology. What makes it unique is it boasts the Bible contains dozens of prophecies of their founder (Felix Manalo), their church, and the Philippines. It loudly proclaims it's the only "True Church" and all who refuse to convert will suffer eternal torment in the "lake of fire." It also imposes a level of control over its members that is abnormal in today's free societies, such as dictating to whom to vote, imposing public shunning and humiliation of disciplined or former members, and "discouraging" its members from conducting independent Bible study. This book examines and refutes every INC claim of prophetic fulfillment. It scrutinizes the INC assertion of exclusive authority to baptize and establishes the utter futility of its baptism since Felix Manalo cannot give what he does not have. This book also examines the Bible's teachings on the person of Jesus Christ and provides specific passages demonstrating the Bible teaches he is also "God" in addition to being a man. Lastly, it also provides proof that the Bible teaches the Holy Spirit is a sentient entity who is also "God."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) church started in the Philippines in 1914 and has a Unitarian theology. It loudly proclaims it is the only "True Church" and all who refuse to convert will suffer eternal torment in the "lake of fire." It backs up its authoritative claim by alleging the Bible contains dozens of prophecies of their founder (Felix Manalo), their church, and the Philippines. Its ministers are notorious for their hostility and aggressiveness towards ministers of other faiths.The Iglesia Ni Cristo Under a Microscope is the first work to systematically examine the beliefs and practices of this church. It shows every so-called prophetic proof of the INC is a misrepresentation of the Holy Bible. It also provides specific passages showing the Holy Bible teaches Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit is also God.Anyone regardless of faith or lack thereof who want to know the truth about the INC faith will find value in this work.

Additionally, this book: Brings together a wealth of information in communication theory and nonprofit organizations in a thoughtful, approachable style Demonstrates the application and utility of a communication perspective across several key aspects of nonprofit work Written by two well-known scholars in the field with considerable experience in nonprofit work—teaching, research, volunteering, consulting, and board membership Understanding Nonprofit Work is an ideal book for advanced undergraduate and graduate level students in courses on nonprofit work, or broader classes on organizational communication and public administration that have units on the nonprofit sector.

Book Synopsis Transforming Society by : Melba Padilla Maggay
Download or read book Transforming Society written by Melba Padilla Maggay and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Situated as they are within the Philippine Evangelical tradition, yet supported by wide reading in other traditions, the reflections of Melba Padilla Maggay come through to the Roman Catholic reader as both strikingly similar to and interestingly different from our own tradition. The similarities stem from the fact that we all see the same issues and problems in the world around us, and the same approaches to them; moreover, we share a common Christian concern for our less fortunate brothers and sisters. The main difference lies in the methodology: Maggay focuses strongly on Scripture in building a case for social involvement and in evaluating possible approaches; the Catholic would look also to the body of social thought developed by the Popes over the past 100 years or so. Yet for the Catholic the emphasis on Scripture can itself be refreshing and stimulating, and an incentive to dialogue with the Evangelical tradition. "The book makes other interesting contributions as well. It brings to the fore the ferment now taking place within the Philippine Evangelical churches. And it offers useful reflections on attitudes and strategies, dangers and traps in the arena of social involvement. In particular it offers a timely reminder to keep our focus on God and His work in the world, in the midst of our own 'worldly' involvement. Finally, it all rings true as coming from one who has been deeply involved in that same work." --Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, SJ President, Ateneo de Manila University "Dr. Melba Maggay writes on the Church as an agent for transforming society from her experience of Martial Law and her participation in the 1986 EDSA Revolution. She disavows being a theologian but she only means she is not an academic theologian! Or perhaps that she is not a dogmatic/systematic theologian. Despite her disavowal, what we have in this book is an outstanding piece of theological writing on the task of the Church in the world, particularly in Philippine society. She has no simple solutions to complex social situations. But she dares to dream because she knows that the Kingdom of God has come, and will yet come in blazing splendor when King Jesus returns. Meanwhile, in her words, she is 'one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread to sustain the journey towards liberation and social justice and righteousness.' I commend these essays wholeheartedly." --Dr. Isabelo F. Magalit President, Asian Theological Seminary "Transforming Society is the kind of book one could put into the hands of a senator, a human rights lawyer, a journalist with a political conscience and a community development worker, whether they are Christians or not, The better they were not, for non-Christians might better understand the passion and pain of Melba Maggay's writing than triumphalistic Christians with their ready made answers to a superficial assessment of society's problems. "She is writing as a social activist who has taken time to reflect on Scripture and theological tradition in order to make better sense of the Christian's role in society . . . Her involvement in working for justice in the Philippines leading to the euphoric EDSA 'revolution' gives the book concrete particularity. Her reflections on Scripture and the role of the church give the book usable generality for other social contexts and for other times. "Transforming Society is written in a bitter-sweet note. There is no frothy idealism in this book. But neither is it pessimistic. Instead a wary realism is reflected throughout its pages . . . Its lyrical language will inspire. Its sound concepts will provide direction. Its realism will help in being credible. Its hope is Christological. The overall impact of this book will be both challenging and prophetic. "Melba Maggay is undoubtedly the finest protestant theological writer in the Philippines, and possibly in the Third World . . ." --Charles Ringma, PhD Professor, Asian Theological Seminary and founder of Teen Challenge, Australia Excerpts from a book review in Phronesis, a journal of A TS, Vol. 2, No. 2, 1995.
