TRANSCRIPT. The Roman Catholic Church may allegedly be the oldest institution in the western world, but does this mean or prove that they are the true Church that belongs to Christ?
Well, there are many differences. The most obvious, though, is the name: “Church of Christ” and the “Roman Catholic Church.”. Brother Phillip: The Church Of Christ, or Iglesia Ni Cristo, Kirche Christi, whatever language you say it in is the Church that is in the Bible. While the name “ Roman Catholic Church ,” isn’t.

We get this question a lot since many churches go by the name “Church Of Christ” in many cities across the US. The first point to clarify is that the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) is not part of the Churches of Christ associated with the American Restoration Movement. So what makes this Church different? Well, how many of those churches have...
Some religions use other books to support their teachings. In the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), we use only the Bible to answer questions that are asked. Question and answer. The answers are from the Bible. It’s the same format we follow in worship services, Bible studies, and even the one-on-one conversations you’ll want to have with one o...
Unless being a cult means completely following God’s words written in the Bible, then we’re not a cult. We’d love to help clarify the questions or misconceptions you may have about the Church Of Christ. Let’s set up some time to talk. You can also watch an episode of INC International Editionwhere we cover the question at length.
The Bible teaches that to qualify for baptism, one should be taught the words of God, believe in them, repent, and renew his life (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:38, Ephesians 4:21). Since an infant cannot do these things, infant baptism is not practiced in the Church Of Christ. We also follow what the Bible says about how baptisms are done, which is by imm...
The Church Of Christ has congregations around the world and members from over 147 ethnicities. While there are many Filipinos and a lot of congregations in the Philippines, people from many different races and cultures make up the Church Of Christ.
We frequently get this question from those emailing our website. So it’s good we’re covering it in this list. To answer the question, we turn to the writings of Apostle Paul, II Corinthians 9:7, which reads this way: So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. [2 Corinthians 9:7 ...
I get it. This is a lot of information. I still remember the first time I accepted an invitation to attend a Bible study. It was all so new and overwhelming at first. But I remember walking out already wanting to go back to ask more questions. And I did. And you know what? Just like it is today, every question was answered with the Bible. So, what ...
- The Source of the Issue. The source of the issue is found in Vatican II's dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, where we read: 8. This Church [the Church of Christ] constituted and organized in the world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him, although many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside of its visible structure.
- "Subsists In"? The matter would be much clearer if the Council had used the traditional language of saying that the Church of Christ is the Catholic Church.
- Addressing the Matter. The controversy over the meaning of this passage in the Council grew to such a point that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith decided to address it in 2007 in this document.
- Why Didn't They Just Say "Is"? The document also addresses this: Why was the expression “subsists in” adopted instead of the simple word “is”? The use of this expression ["subsists in"], which indicates the full identity of the Church of Christ with the Catholic Church, does not change the doctrine on the Church.
Jul 23, 2014 · 1) The divinity and humanity of Christ. To the Catholic Church, Jesus Christ “is the Son of God” and the “Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.”. He is the central figure in the apostolic ...
We know that no other church but the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ because no other church has these four marks. (a) All other churches lack essential unity. They recognize no authority in religious matters vested in an individual who is the vicar of Christ.
The Church of Christ and the Catholic Church Since Vatican II there has been some confusion about whether or not the Roman Catholic Church is the true and only Church of Jesus Christ. The debate ...
