I am very happy because I became a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ).
I learned of and received the truth together with salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am Brother Rayburn Seriales Samonte. I am a former pastor for 11 years at Foursquare Gospel Church.
Our school is called Souls of Life Bible College. I studied there for four years.
When I became an evangelist in Foursquare, I took up BES Theology for four years.
I also took up Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Leadership Major in Biblical Studies.
All in all, I studied theology for eight years.
I handled a church in Camarhan, Roxas Foursquare Gospel Church, for five years.
I became the chairman of the organization Matuma sa Matalam for one year.
The Matalam Ministerial Association is an organization of the Born Again Christian Church.
Every member is a Born Again pastor.
In Foursquare Gospel Church, we have what we call major doctrine and minor doctrine.
Other sects also have these.
Whenever I hear a preacher saying that they don't have a baptism in their religion,
sometimes I want to ask them questions. But once I ask,
they veer away from the topic.
That is what pastors from our organization do.
So when I spoke with one of the pastors, I asked why we should not discuss about the doctrines of both churches.
He said, "We should not discuss that because that is the root of conflict,
because we have different doctrines."
I suddenly thought, "Why?"
I also read from the Bible, in John 10:9, that it is stated that one should enter Christ's church.
We need to be part of Christ's body.
We also teach about the church of Christ always but out religion is different.
A member of the Church Of Christ invited me. He said, "Ray, can you attend our worship service?"
I said, "Sure. I will."
I am open-minded. I don't reject invitations.
When I attended the worship service of the Church Of Christ, I was still a pastor.
When I first attended, I said to myself, "So this is what it's like to worship in the Church Of Christ.
Women have separate seats from men. It is very organized."
In Foursquare Gospel Church, it is so loud (during worship services) while in the Church Of Christ,
I was amazed of their worship service's solemnity. You'd feel the power of God in the worship service.
When I listened to the doctrines,
I realized that man should really enter the fold of the Lord Jesus Christ because if you won't enter,
you won't be saved. That is the only way for you to receive salvation.
It is there where you'll be able to completely renew your life.
It is here that I learned that the Lord Jesus Christ is not the true God. There is only one true God, the Father.
In my former religion, in the Foursquare Church which is a Pentecostal denomination,
there is a different teaching in every church. We are not centralized unlike in the Church Of Christ.
For example, if I would attend worship services in Kidapawan or in Roxas,
the same lesson would be taught.
What was taught here in Digos is also the same anywhere else.I was in awe.
Every congregation receives the same teachings unlike in my former religion, every church differs.
In my 11 years of being a pastor, performing my pastoral duties in my former religion Foursquare Gospel Church,
I can say that the teachings there are greatly lacking.
We were taught that we should just accept Christ as our personal savior.
You just need to do good and change your life. That is not enough.
One should enter the fold. It is essential that you follow the command of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am very happy because I became a member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ).
I learned and received the truth together with salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
I invite my former colleagues, the pastors in different sects especially in Foursquare,
that you should examine the Church Of Christ
because you can find here the truth and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
