The Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ from the Philippines)
claims to be the only true church:
"...the Iglesia ni Cristo never tires of convincing people to leave their
false religions and come to the only true religion, the Iglesia ni Cristo."
Pasugo, September/October 1991, page 19
"This may come as a surprise to many, but the Biblical truth is, though
all churches profess to preach God and Christ, there is only one true church
that can bring people back to the good graces of God."
Pasugo, November 1973, page 19
It also claims to be the reestablishment of the first
century Church of Christ that fell by way of apostasy by means of
God's last messenger, Felix Y. Manalo:
"The Church of Christ which was apostatized after the first century was
restored to its pristine purity by God by means of His last messenger,
brother Felix Y. Manalo..."
Pasugo, July/August 1988, page 7
Consequently, only Iglesia ni Cristo ministers can be
considered God's messengers:
"It is through the preaching function of God's messengers that God calls
people to be gathered in one body or in the Church of Christ. This is why
members of the Iglesia ni Cristo uphold the words of God preached by His
messenger in these last days, Brother Felix Y. Manalo. He and the other
ministers and workers of the Church are the ones whom God sent in these
last days, as attested to by the fulfillment of God's prophecy, to preach
the gospel..."
Pasugo, August 1996, page 7
