church of God international
Question: " What is the former road/members of the church of God international? What are the teachings of this religion?"
Answer: " the old road " is the name of the radio and television program of Elisha Soriano, the founder of " members of the church of God international," a religious native in the Philippines. We must consider the old road a cult within Christianity because of the rejection of some biblical teachings and it's being exclusive.
Elisha Soriano, called the "Brother Eli" of his members, was a former disciple of Nicolas Perez, the founder and Prime Minister of the church of God in Christ Jesus, pillar and buttress of the truth, a religious organization to separate from the church of Christ whowas founded by Felix Manalo. Soriano calls himself " the wise man," " the walking Bible," " Modern Jeremiah," " the consecrated," and " he who holds the key." Soriano lives Outside the Philippines since 2005 due to the defamation and accusations of rape to a male member.
Soriano introduces himself as " the most famous preacher in all times." Soriano Uses Television, radio and internet and the way of teaching " question and answer " to spread his teaching. His explanation of explaining the text of the Bible is literalism, and he does not use the right hermeneutics or the right way of explaining the Bible. The Add /mcgi has no written manifestation of faith because perhaps the reason Soriano has often contradicted his own teaching. Soriano is also known for swearing, railings his disputant and spitting in front of the camera while his television program is air.
The old way to the field of medicine, education, preservation of nature, and social work. However, these acts of the organizationare swamped by false doctrines. Mcgi teaches its own version of dosetismo . Soriano teaches that Jesus is not human but only God and his spirit to live in the human body is not a spirit of man but the spirit of God. This wrong teaching is strongly directed by many passages in the scriptures like 1 John 4:2-3 where it is said , " this is the sign that the spirit of God is in them: if they declare that Jesus Christ has become human. If they say not so about Jesus, the spirit in them is not from God. The Spirit of the anti-Christ is in them. Some say that you will come and now it is in the world." the Apostle John says that the teaching that is not true Christ is one of the teachings of the antichrist.
Soriano doesn't believe in the doctrine of Trinidad; instead, he believes that God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit is " three power of God in heaven." According to Soriano, the father will not equal the son and the Holy Spirit. Christ is only one " Almighty God " not the " Almighty God " as the father while the holy spirit is just a literal power of God.
Mcgi believes and also train the following :
- God has the substance of the human body as his hand, eyes, feet and be of the booty. But he has no knee because even though there aremany God , he will not worship other God because he is the only God that must be the purpose of worship. But the scripture says that God has no physical substance or appearance because he is a spirit (John 4:24).
- God lives on his own planetthat is in a space of space. This teaching has a resemblance to the doctrine of Mormons that the gods who come down to the earth are from heaven near the planet " Kolob ."
- God is not omnipresent. God may want to go to aplace but he is not in another place. This is outright contradicted the biblical teaching that God is everywhere. " I am God everywhere and not remain in one place." " no one can hide me; I will see him wherever he goes. For I am in all places in heaven and on earth " (Jeremiah 23:23-34).
- salvation is by the possession of the former road /Mcgi , by baptism and doing works according to righteousness. Notice a sentence taken on the website of Soriano, " we believe that God calls us with determination to serve him, by bringing us to his flock, and teaching about righteousness after being baptized so that our sin Is covered by the dear blood of Jesus Christ shed in the mountain of Calvary for the redemption of our sin and to be worthy of eternal life in heaven." this sentence clearly teaches that for the old road, salvation is by good works. But the Bible teaches that salvation is only a grace of God through faith in Christ not for good works, " because by the grace of God you are saved by faith ; and this salvation is the gift of God And not by yourselves; it is not the fruit of your works, so that no one should be proud of anyone " (Ephesians 2:8-9).
-the festival of festivals and Christmas is forbidden to mcgi because they are idolatry. They also prohibit wine drink, watching a movie and face facial, wearing pants, wearing a body fit for women.
Many of the doctrines of the former roads or members of the church of God are not biblical. And the biblecertainly does not mean the swearing and railing of Soriano in his disputant as Paul said to Timothy, " the servant of God must not fight, rather he must be good in dealing with all, good teacher and patient " (2 Timothy 2:24). Despite the fame and charity of the former road, this religion should be avoided . Dos etismo " (Docetism in English means " to acquiring " or " seemingly "). In other words, God is like wearing a disguise from a person. That means Christ Jesus is not a real person if he is not a God who is a human being!

Calvinism
Faith is not a work... we are saved by faith . Faith does not precede regeneration. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word.
The Calvinistic teaching has wrongly exaggerated the effects of man’s fallen condition resulting in a misinterpretation of man’s responsibility in light of God’s clear revelation. Calvinists say they believe men are “responsible” but they do not mean what most people think when they hear the word “responsible” (able-to-respond freely and thus guilty for that response).
What Calvinists mean is that mankind is justly punished even though they were born “unable-to-respond” willingly to God’s revelation. They do not mean that mankind is morally capable of responding to God’s appeals to be reconciled from their fallen condition (as implied in 2 Cor. 5:20, John 3:16 and elsewhere).
Calvinists insist that man is born dead in sin and therefore “corpse-like” in his abilities to respond to God’s life-giving truth. Therefore, according to their logic, God must bring the corpse back to life so that he will certainly believe God’s revealed truth.
Some Calvinists will argue that the order of regeneration and faith is a logical order, not a temporal one, meaning that the two happen simultaneously within time. They teach that at the moment a person is born again he will come to faith. The moment he is regenerated he also places his trust in Christ. It all happens in an instant of time. Yet logically as we think about this transaction, we must put a causal order to it. Does the Bible indicate that a person must be regenerated so that he can believe or does the Bible teach that a person must believe in order to be regenerated? Do we need life in order to believe or do we need to believe in order to have life? That logical order is what is in dispute.
What is not in dispute is that regeneration is the sovereign act of God whereby He imparts His very life and His very nature to the believing sinner (John 1:12-13; Titus 3:5). Man’s first birth is natural; his second birth is spiritual and supernatural. His first birth makes him a member of a fallen race; his second birth makes him a member of a redeemed race. His first birth gives him a depraved nature (Eph. 2:3); his second birth makes him partaker of the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4). The moment a person is born again he receives a new life (John 6:47; 1 John 5:12) and a new position as a child of God (John 1:12; 1 John 3:1-2). In short, he is a new creature in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17).
We can all affirm these truths.

Calvinism
The Idolatry of Calvinism
There are those who have established all of their hope of salvation upon the teachings and doctrines of a misguided theologian by the name of John Calvin. It is common to hear Calvinist go on and on, and defend this particular man who lived in the 15 hundreds!
Birth Date: July 10, 1509
Death Date: May 27, 1564
So to what credit do we give this man? Did he ever walk, or live where Jesus walked and lived? Did he ever walk and live where the apostles walked and lived? Did he ever have faith in Christ to the degree that he was fulfilling the declarations of Christ?
John 14:12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father.
You will very seldom ever hear Calvinist preach a strong message of total commitment, love, abandonment to Jesus Christ. John Calvin is their HERO more than Jesus Christ. Idolatry is a sin that many Calvinist will not repent of. Their Calvinistic doctrine of the five tulips is a mixture of some truth, filled with lies. I call it a cow pie sandwich. What is a cow pie sandwich? It is two pieces of homemade bread, with a cow pie in the middle.
You can give them Scripture after Scripture after Scripture of what Jesus boldly declared, and it seems to just fall off of them like water off a duck back. Their number one warcry is No Works, nor Works, nor Works. Yet they completely ignore that when Christ spoke to the seven churches in the book of Revelation he said over seven times: I Know Thy Works! On my, what shall be done for these poor souls who have swallowed the lie and become a worshiper of a man, instead of a lover of Jesus Christ? Only God knows where they will end up?

John Calvin
THE FATHER OF CALVINISM WAS A MURDERER
John Calvin's Insanity!
Burned Without Mercy
When Servetus knew Calvin was going to have him killed regardless of the merits of his arguments (all of which Calvin could not refute), he asked for mercy. He pleaded with Calvin to just quickly cut off his head by the sword rather than burning him at the stake, fearing he might not remain faithful under the anticipated pain.
Ignoring pleas for mercy, Calvin ordered Servetus to be burned with green wood so the suffering would be prolonged . He ordered sulfur be placed atop his head so when the flames finally reached high enough to ignite the sulfur an even more intense heat would burn his head.
Throughout the ordeal, Michael Servetus did not recant his deeply held beliefs or his innocence. On October 26 the official Council of Two Hundred ordered Servetus “to be led to Chapel and burned there alive on the next day together with his books.” Only two charges were mentioned in his sentencing–anti-Trinitarianism and anti-pedobaptism.
The law under which Servetus was condemned was the Codex of Justinian that prescribed the death penalty for the denial of the Trinity. This law was instituted by the totalitarian ecclesiastical state, whose morality was defined by the interests of the ecclesiastical state which Calvin helped establish .
Two hours before his execution, he requested an audience with Calvin who agreed and came with two of his lieutenants. He acknowledged that Servetus became “irritated against my good and saintly admonishing…. Seeing that I do not accomplish anything by exhortations, I did not want to be wiser than my Master would permit me. Therefore, following the rule of Saint Paul, I separated myself from the heretic.”
Marian Hillar in his book on Servetus describes the martyrdom. “ No cruelty was spared on Servetus as his state was made of bundles of the fresh wood of live oak still green, mixed with the branches still bearing leaves. On his head, a straw crown was placed sprayed with sulfur. He was seated on a log with his body chained to a post with an iron chain, his neck was bound with four or five turns of a thick rope. This way Servetus was being fried at a slow fire for about half an hour before he died.
His last words were, “O God, save my soul; O Jesus of the eternal God, have mercy on me.”
A Counter-revolution Begun
Calvin succeeded in burning to death his innocent challenger, but in doing so ignited a greater fire of protest against both his doctrine and his intolerance of a free religious conscience.
Lucian of Samosata was a satirist in 2nd century Greece. He wrote in one of his works about early Christians.
The Christians ... worship a man to this day – the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account.... [It] was impressed on them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted , and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws. Source: Lucian, "The Death of Peregrine", 11-13 in, in The Works of Lucian of Samosata, translated by H.W. Fowler and F.G. Fowler, 4 vols. (Oxford: Claridon 1949), volume 4., cited in Habermas, The Historical Jesus, 206.
Although Lucian does not mention Jesus by name it is clear that he is talking about Jesus. Lucian does not say explicitly, the Christian denial of other gods combined with their worship of Jesus implies that Jesus was no mere human.
Another source of information comes from Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor
