Si Eli Soriano ba ay itiniwalag sa Iglesya ni Nicolas Perez?

Born from a poor family in Pasay City, Philippines, Soriano claim to be an “exceptional, consistently receiving the highest honors… and was awarded the highest possible grade in the entire history of his grade school.”* Unfortunately, he did not finish his secondary schooling due to an alleged “skirmish” with his acting school directress over a topic on religion. Soriano’s follower took this not as a “twist of fate but rather [an alleged] manifestation of God’s work of hand bringing him to his real destiny.”* His parents were members of Iglesia ng Dios Kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan founded in 1936 by a former Iglesia ni Cristo (1914) follower namely Nicolaz Perez. Perez along with Teofila Ora left the I.N.C. fold in 1922 probably after learning that Jesus Christ was Mighty God but “not” the Almighty God and proceeded to establish the Iglesia Verdadero de Cristo. It did not took long for the two former leaders of I.N.C. (1914) to develop discord among themselves. This occurrence drove Perez to register his new group under the name, Iglesia ng Dios Kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan Soriano’s desire to read and memorize the Scripture was prompted by his membership in Perez’ group at a young age of 17 years old. His followers noted of his “zealous [ness] in his religion.”* His skill in “explaining” and remembering the Bible verses was noticed by the other members so that he became “a preacher, a debater and a minister”* of the said group. He was even believed to be a “special confidante of Perez, explaining to him the teachings and the mysteries of the word of God.”* Unknown to many, he was said rumored to be groomed as the successor of Perez after he dies. In 1975 just after Perez’ death, some members were stunned when the leadership was passed on to Levita Gugulan, a woman. At first, Soriano might have yielded to that decision but it did not take long before he along with a few others rebelled against Gugulan’s leadership. They believed that women as leaders in church are not biblically supported. It was reported that in 1976, Soriano and his allies were excommunicated by Gugulan. And the following year (1977), he registered a new group namely,

Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan.

Which later evolved to,

Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan sa Bansang Pilipinas, Inc. (1990) and Bayan ng Katotohanan (1993).

Most likely because of a lawsuit filed by Gugulan’s group with reference to the “name” of Soriano’s newly founded organization called,

Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan

which is somewhat similar with the former’s group name

“Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan.”

This episode continues to cause confrontation between the two religious groups.

Update 4-Jan-2003: Now since the highest court of the land (the Philippine Supreme Court) ruled, once in for all, in favor of Gugulan's group, the name of Soriano's church was drastrically changed to: "Iglesia Ni YHWH at ni YHWSA HMSYH" (Church of YHWH and YHWSA HMSYH).

Update 4-Nov-2004: Now they prefer to be known as, Members Church of God International.

Eliseo F. Soriano EXPOSED

Eliseo F. Soriano EXPOSED!

By David J. Stewart

Eliseo F. Soriano is a false prophet, who teaches damnable heresies. Beware of this imposter!

Eliseo Fernando Soriano (born April 4, 1947), a controversial Filipino evangelist, is presiding minister of the Philippines-based Members Church of God International. He is known as Bro. Eli in the Congregation he leads, and through his radio and television programs Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path), Ask Soriano, Bible Guide and Truth in Focus. Soriano is known for criticizing various other religious groups for doctrines and practices he considers to be against biblical truths. —SOURCE

Soriano Perverts The Gospel

The following information is from Soriano's church website. My comments will appear in bold white type...

The Bible teaches only one church that each of us must join, for us to be saved by Jesus Christ. In fact, the Church in the Bible will become "God" instrument in making the Gentiles heirs to the promise of eternal life.

This is a lie of the Devil. We don't have to join any visible church organization to be saved. Salvation is by faith alone in the Person of Jesus Christ (Romans 10:13).

...Our Lord Jesus Christ will bring two kinds of salvation, through the Bible. At the time He assumed human form, He saved Israel from its sinfulness. That is written in Matthew 1:21, which says—“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

However, when He comes again, for the second time, He will bring salvation to the faithful. And, the Bible is teaching us how we can become one among those people that our Lord Jesus Christ will save come judgment day. The first verse that we have to pay attention to is Ephesians 3:6, which says— “That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel.”

Again, this is a lie of the Devil. There are NOT "two kinds of salvation." Jesus plainly stated in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me." Soriano is a false prophet! Soriano teaches that Jesus came 2,000 years ago only to save Israel; but the faithful today will be saved at The Second Coming. Soriano tells lies! There is only one plan of salvation, and that is by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8,9). Soriano teaches a works-based salvation, where a person must be "faithful" to his religious organization to be saved. Sadly, he is brainwashing many thousands of people, and leading them into Hellfire!

...According to St. Paul, for the Gentiles to be a part of the salvation that comes from our Lord Jesus Christ, they have to be made parts first of the body; and only after that will they become partakers of a promise in Christ by the Gospel.

Eli Soriano is a heretic, who teaches that faith alone in Jesus Christ is insufficient to save. Soriano teaches the heresy that a lost sinner must FIRST join the church before he or she can receive Christ as Savior. The Word of God teaches the exact opposite. Scripturally, the very moment you trust Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you become a member of the Church, i.e. the Body of Christ. Soriano is a quack.

Soriano Denies the Deity of Jesus Christ!

Just as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Soriano teaches the damnable heresy that Jesus is a "Mighty God"; but not Almighty God. Here is what Soriano teaches...

"The Jesus and Christ of the Bible is not God the Father"

SOURCE: Ang Dating Daan Biblical Topics

Blasphemy! The Word of God is abundantly clear that the Godhead became incarnate in the earthly body of the Lord Jesus Christ. We read in Colossians 2:9, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Soriano corrupts the Scriptures through his woeful ignorance. We also read in John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, MAKEST THYSELF GOD." Who would dare say that Jesus didn't profess to be Almighty God. In Revelation 1:8 Jesus even claims to be GOD ALMIGHTY, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY." Oh, listen my friend, Jesus accepted worship as only God is entitled to (Matthew 8:2; Isaiah 42:8). Jesus forgave sin as only God is able to do (Mark 2:5-7; Luke 5:21).

Jesus performed miracles, like healing amputees, which no man has ever done, "If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father" (John 15:24). These frauds today like Benny Hinn and Pat Robertson cannot heal anyone; yet they make tens-of-millions of dollars by exploiting people's hopes of being healed from their illnesses and disabilities.

Likewise, Soriano is exploiting Christianity, twisting the Scriptures into lies, to make money and benefit himself. Eliseo F. Soriano and The Church of God International are a Satanic cult! DANGER!

Sharing my Experience ni BALIK KATOLIKO.

Ako poy dating katoliko na naanib sa samahan na Iglesia ng Dios or sikat sa pangalang Ang Dating Daan ni Ginoong Eliseo “Bro. Eli” Soriano. Naanib ako sa grupong ito, ito lang first part ng year 2009. Ngunit sa kulang kulang anim na buwang membership ko ay nag desisyon na akong “tumiwalag” sa grupong ito sa kadahilanang hindi ko na kayang sikmurain ang napakaraming abuluyan at tulungan (daw) ng grupong ito. Ito ang listahan at gusto kong e share sa inyong mga hindi kaanib ng Iglesiang ito at doon sa mga nagpapadoktrina at nakikinig palang sa ADD.

1. Abuluyan sa Regular Pagsamba
2. Tulungan sa Regular Prayer Meeting
3. Abuluyan sa Regular na Pasalamat
4. Kapag magpapasalamat ang isang indibidwal, may tinatawag na gugol
5. Kapag magpapasalamat ang isang indibidwal, may tinatawag na hain
5. Hain sa Pasalamat ng kapatiran (PBK)
6. Gugol sa Pasalamat ng kapatiran (PBK)
7. Hain sa Pasalamat ng kapatiran, midyear (PBK)
8. Gugol sa Pasalamat ng kapatiran, midear (PBK)
9. Local Fund (Expenses ng Locale)
10. Ambagan para sa bayad sa koryente sa local (Kasama sa LF)
11. Ambagan para sa bayad sa tubig sa local (Kasama sa LF)
12. Ambagan para sa bayad sa telepono / internet sa local (Kasama sa LF)
13. Ambagan para sa Bible Exposition
14. Ambagan sa Indoctrination
15. Global Evangelization (GE) – Para daw sa Gawain ni Mr. Soriano sa kanyang location sa Brazil at south amerika.
16. Hain sa Pasalamat ng lokal
17. Gugol sa Pasalamat ng lokal
18. Hain sa Pasalamat ng Debisyon
19. Gugol sa Pasalamat ng Debisyon
20. Kapag nagme-meeting ang mga Officer, meron silang tinatawag na "Biglaan" or “Emergency”, yun bang kahit magkano lang anya, tulong daw sa Gawain ni Mr. Soriano.
22. Pag Birthday ni Mr. Soriano merong ambagan para pang regalo sa kanya.
23. Ambagan para sa pagpapakain sa mga dino-doctrinahan at sa mga nag-aattend ng Bible Exposition.
24. Pledges. May mga miembro na malalaki ang sweldo na kinakausap ng mga worker para magbigay ng abuloy or Gugol na malaki sa Pasalamat (Regular or yung sa PBK).
25. Pag dumalaw yung MIC sa locale asahan mong mayroong siyang tinatawag na “lambing” sa mga miembro at syempre ano pa e di pera din ang hinihingi nya. It’s either in fixed amount or kung ano lang kaya mong ibigay.
26. May tinatawag na “tulungan” daw sa project. Depende kung anong project yun. Halimbawa doon sa nakaraang movie showing ni Mr. Razon (Kuya). Nagbibigay ang worker ng “target collection” sa per group at ang group servant ang nagkokolekta ng pera sa mga miembro. Minsan kukunin nila ang mga pledges (kung ano lang kaya) per member, pero hindi rin nasusunod yun dahil yung ibibigay na ticket ng group servant sa iyo e di hamak na mas mataas ang halaga kaysa doon sa pinangako mo sa kanya. Sasabihin nalang nya sa iyo e pasensya dahil malawak daw kasi ang Gawain ni Mr. Soriano at Mr. Razon.
27. Ambagan para sa Maintenance ng Locale.
28. Ambagan sa pagpapakain ng mga kapatid tuwing pasalamat sa Dios, dito kasi sa locale namin may isang group ang naka toka sa pagluluto at pagpapakain every week at syempre ang mga miembro ng grupo ay may ambagan na kulang kulang 400 pesos for each member.
29. Dito sa locale namin mayroong Van na ginagamit sa pagsusundo ng mga kapatid tuwing may pagtitipon. Pag nasira yung Van syempre ano pa e di may ambagan para sa pagbili ng nga kailangang spare part or piyesa ng sasakyan. He he minsan pa nga kung nagkamali sa nabiling piyesa (dahil hindi pala yun ang talagang kailangang piyesa) syempre ano pa e di ambagan ulit.
30. Ambagan sa pag renta ng sasakyan or coaster kung pupunta sa kabilang ibayo para dumalo. Kung may schedule na pagtitipon sa kabilang city or province at kailangan mag renta ng sasakyan para sa pag transport ng mga kapatid.
31. Ambagan sa pagbayad ng renta sa Straha. Pag may mararaming kapatid na magpapasalamat at may mga miembro na mangagaling sa ibang probinsiya or city e nagrerenta ng straha ang worker / DS para maisama sila sa pagtitipon dahil siguradong masikip sa rentang locale.


Ang dami po di ba? dito lang po yan sa location ko at hindi ko alam ang nangyayari sa isang locale sa pilipinas or maging sa ibang lugar sa mundo. Mayroon pang iba pero nakalimutan ko na. Isang dahilan palang po yan kaya ako umalis sa ADD. Eto pa Mananawagan pa nga yung worker na magbigay ka ng mas malaki kaysa sa perang ibibigay or ipapadala mo sa family mo dahil sa marami daw ang Gawain at dito naman daw ito mapupunta daw. Ang isang nakakainis sa daming abuluyan at so called tulungan e wala naman silang pinapakitang mga report sa mga kapatid sa tuwing may pagtitipon. Ano yung mga report na yun??

Magkano ang nakokolekta per group para sa Gawain
Magkano ang nakokolekta per group para sa expenses ng locale.
Magkano ang total nakokolekta para sa Gawain
Magkano ang total nakokolekta para sa expenses ng locale.
Magkano ang na remit kay Mr. Soriano at Mr. Razon.
Magkano ang nakokolekta per group para sa so called project
Magkano ang total nakokolekta para sa so called project

It can be monthly, quarterly or even yearly.

PERO wala silang pinapakitang data na ganito kaya walang kasiguraduhan na ang collection ay malinis at walang napupunta sa ibang bulsa since maraming kamay ang humahawak nito. At isa pa minsan magpaparinig pa yung group servant mo na ang group mo daw ang pinaka kolelat sa collection ng pera at minsan yung worker naman sasabihin na kolelat ang locale in terms of amount ng koleksyon.

Tsk! Tsk! Matindi po di ba?? kaya po sa mga recently lang naanib sa ADD e mag-isip isip po tayo mga kapatid at maging doon sa mga nakikinig palang at nagpapadoktrina. Kaya nyo po ba ang ganitong klasing abuluyan and so called tulungan?? Doon po sa nagpapadoktrina or dumadalo ng exposition or bible study palang maaring maganda ang treatment o pakikisama nila sa inyo ngayon, pero lahat yan ay magbabago once na umanib na kayo sa kanila. Siguradong LIMAS ang laman ng wallet mo at savings mo.

Siguradong aakusahan nila ako na miembro na ako ng INC well. Sorry pero nagkakamali kayong mga loyalist ni Mr. Soriano. Hindi ako umanib sa INC dahil madami ding abuluyan doon. Sa ngayon "freelance" na ako at nagsisikap sa hanap buhay.
