Newly Baptized Testimonials: December 24, 2015


Read short testimonials of faith from some of MCGI’s youngest brethren on December 24, 2015 at the Ang Dating Daan Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga.

Bro. Gil Alonzo, 62, Former Catholic, Manila

On Joining the Church of God

This is where I heard the words of God in the Bible.

I had a friend in Quezon City who lead me here to eventually join the Church of God. He’s Bro. Domingo Cabido; he’s about nine years in the Church already.

We always bumped into each other in a corner somewhere; we are friends. Now, he invited me once to attend a Church gathering. I said, “I’ll see first before I decide as deciding is difficult.”

When I went there, I saw that I liked Bro. Eli’s preaching. So I continued from then on. I didn’t have any doubts anymore. As fate would have it, there was an indoctrination scheduled at the time, so I went straight to it.

On Being Baptized

I am happy because I have finally done what I have yearned for all my life.

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

May they continue the preaching that they do.

Bro. Jose Collano, 65, Former Born Again Member, Manila

On Joining the Church of God

It’s because of the teachings. That is what I followed here. I learned about this on TV, and I found that Bro. Eli’s teachings are better than those of other religions I have been in.

I have been listening for a long time, about a year already. I have long been looking for this, but I have found it only now. It was at the Locale of Bagbag where I went to first, but then I found one that was near our place.

On Being Baptized

Oh, it feels good. It really feels good inside. I felt such a relief.

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

All I can say is, I became a believer because of those words that Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel preached. To God be the glory.

Bro. Gonzalo Cordova Jr., 42, Former Born Again Member, Manila

On Joining the Church of God

This is the right one. This is the truth.

On Being Baptized

Oh, I’m so, so happy! It feels good; it’s inexplicable.

I also experienced being baptized in a Born Again group, but the feeling wasn’t like this. My head just got wet there. But here, I felt different.

Also, even before the baptism rite, you will see that the doctrines are really something else already.

I mean, the doctrines are great! No other religion has taught these. I’ve been to the INC, in the Born Again, in Catholicism; all of those groups, I’ve investigated their doctrines, but I found nothing.

Our eldest brother has been here in the Church for 10 years now, Bro. Rene Cordova from the Locale of Nagcarlan, Laguna.

Actually, we used to mock him. We are nine brethren and the eight of us would go against him.

My father is a Catholic devotee, while one of my siblings is a Born Again devotee because she wed an American who is preacher, a pastor. We have different religions in our home. My other sister is an Iglesia ni Cristo member.

We would debate with each other, but my brother already had wisdom. As our eldest, we respected him. But [after being baptized in the Church of God], when he spoke, it was like he was a different person.

– – –

His views are now different. He doesn’t easily get angry. It’s just, he’s different now.

Before, we thought it was just nothing. We thought he changed because he was just already old.

My brother and I are close, him being the eldest and me being the youngest. We are always together, except when it comes to this.

Now, before he left for Manila, my wife and I watched Bro. Eli’s program once on UNTV. Since then, we got addicted to it.

We watched it daily. Our day would not be complete without us watching it. We would watch it after coming home from the office, and would do so until around 2 a.m. Then, the following morning, we would watch again.

Of course, we don’t know how long our lives are going to be. It’s hard when the Lord will take back your life already and you don’t know where you’re going to. That’s hard. I don’t want to go to hell. [Laughs]

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

I pray always for him. I hope that he will be stronger, that he’ll have courage. We are just here, the brethren, to support him. We will not leave the gatherings [with God’s help].

Bro. Charlie Romero, 50, Former World of Hope Member, Manila

On Joining the Church of God

I heard Bro. Eli’s teachings before. I was a Born Again Christian for 13 years.

Now, I’m a seaman and my shipmate gave me copies of [Bible Exposition videos] from here in his hard drive.

My shipmate is just one year here in the Church. He gave me topics of Bro. Eli and I listened to them daily in the afternoon after work.

So I studied them until I went home in December and decided to attend the indoctrination, because the doctrines are truly based in the Bible.

On Being Baptized

It feels light inside. I felt that all my heart aches, the ill feelings I kept before. I felt relieved.

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

I hope that they will just continue their propagation of God’s words that many more will be lead unto the truth.

Bro. Raymart Sarmiento, 16, Former KNC, Manila

On Joining the Church of God

My parents are members here for about ten years now. I found this to be the only religion that has these doctrines.

On Being Baptized

It feels light inside.

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

I hope they will continue their works because they are good and may the Lord continue to keep them.

Sis. Donna Rocabo, 17, Former Catholic, Laguna Province

On Joining the Church of God

I felt the true God here. I got interested the very first time I heard Bro. Eli.

The things that I didn’t learn from my former religion, it’s here that I learned them. That’s why I got interested and joined.

I once asked my boss about the difference of Catholicism with The Old Path. He told me to listen.

There was a Mass Indoctrination at the time, so I attended it. Upon that first instance of listening to Bro. Eli, I learned about the things we did in Catholicism that were wrong. I felt glad about it.

On Being Baptized

I was thinking twice before, but after I got baptized, the anxieties in my heart were gone. It’s like I don’t feel any pain. I felt relieved. I’m thankful because I got to know this religion.

On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon

I hope that they will continue spreading the truth that many more souls will be saved come Judgment Day.

To God be the glory
