Newly Baptized Testimonials: August 14, 2015
Read short testimonials of faith from some of MCGI’s youngest brethren baptized on August 14, 2015 at the ADD Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga.
Sis. Germaine Apor, 27, Former Catholic Manila
On Joining the Church of God
My partner for five years has been a member since 2006, so he accompanies me to gatherings. Actually, his entire family are members.
Before I just saw Bro. Eli on television. I didn’t listen to him though; his channel was something that I just passed by as I surfed.
It was in the Locale of Marikina on a Saturday [when I first attended]. It was a Thanksgiving service. It struck me as different at first because the people were singing and dancing; it didn’t feel strange though.
I really couldn’t say anything about [the doctrines]. I have long been a Catholic. When I was a child, I also tried to be a Born Again member. But never did I recall that we did a Bible Study. Here, you will really understand something, and you can apply it.
On Being Baptized
I feel so light. It’s like the feeling after a normal shower, only 100 times better!
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
Is there anything I can say that means more than “Thank you”? If they weren’t there, many people would not be able to return unto the Lord. There are so many people here because of them.
If there’s one word that means greater than “Thank you,” that’s what I would say.

Sis. Nenita Calunsay, 60, Former Catholic, Leyte Province
On Joining the Church of God
I wanted to join. I didn’t join any other church but this as I like it here. Also, all explanations are clear. I liked them. In Catholicism, I didn’t like it there.
Sis. Perlita was the one who invited me here. She has been a member for five years now.
On Being Baptized
I feel pleasant and light.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
I’m thankful for them because if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be member of the Church today.
I’m thankful for everything they have taught; nothing is evil. All of the things they taught are good.
I just really wanted to join. Actually, I didn’t force my husband to come with me. I just pursued to get indoctrinated and become a member here in the Church of God.

Sis. Angelica Delos Santos, 38, Former Iglesia ni Cristo, Pampanga Province
On Joining the Church of God
It’s because I heard Bro. Eli’s doctrines. My husband was the first to be indoctrinated, and he brought me with him to gatherings. He was just baptized last July 24, 2015.
My mind was enlightened, and the word of God entered my heart that’s why I was enlightened.
I was a handog (offering) in the Iglesia. My parents, even my grandparents from both sides of the family, are Iglesia ni Cristo members.
Wearing modest apparel is something that they did only occasionally. Also, the contributions there are many.
On Being Baptized
I felt relieved, as if all my doubts in life are gone. My wrong faith has been changed.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
Bro. Eli, many thanks for your doctrines. My heart and mind have been enlightened by the true teachings of God written in the Bible.

Sis. Ivy Salonga, 32, Former Catholic, Pampanga Province
On Joining the Church of God
I like what Bro. Eli is preaching; we have watched him on television since about two years ago. My husband liked it too, so we decided to attend indoctrination.
Regarding the doctrines, I’m already 32 years old and it’s my first time to hear the one about women’s apparel. In a free religion, there are no prohibitions.
On Being Baptized
I feel happy. I can’t explain it, but my tears just suddenly fell back there. Perhaps, it was because of the relief I felt inside.
On Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon
I hope that you will continue you works for people like me who are sinful, that many more may return unto God.
