Iglesia Ni Cristo's "Is Salvation By Faith Alone?" DEBUNKED Verse By Verse (Rebuttal)

Iglesia Ni Cristo says faith alone cannot save you. The INC — founded by Felix Manalo in the Philippines in 1914 and now governed by Eduardo Manalo — just released a video denying sola fide, misquoting James 2, and using the Lamsa translation of Acts 20:28 to claim their organization is the only road to salvation. This is my official Iglesia Ni Cristo rebuttal video — verse by verse, word by word, the text open. In this video, I respond line by line to the INC's own teaching on salvation — watch the original INC video I'm rebutting here:    • Is Salvation By Faith Alone? | See For You...   ‪@SeekTheTruth_INC‬ Sola gratia. Sola fide. Solus Christus. These were the battle cries of the Reformation — declared against Rome after the Catholic Church condemned faith alone at the Council of Trent in 1546. The Eastern Orthodox and Greek Orthodox traditions approach salvation through theosis — union with God through grace. Now the INC adds yet another works-based entry requirement to the list. Three different systems. Same fatal flaw: something YOU must DO to complete what Christ already finished. Here's the deepest irony: Felix Manalo built the INC by recruiting from Roman Catholic communities across the Philippines — telling them Rome was apostate and that he alone was the last messenger of God. But the INC's works-based salvation framework mirrors the very Catholic system he claimed to reject. The pasugo replaced the catechism. Eduardo Manalo replaced the Pope. The cage changed. The bars didn't. This is the Iglesia Ni Cristo debate they don't want to have — because when you place their claims next to the original Greek manuscripts, the entire framework collapses. The INC uses James 2 to argue that faith alone is dead religion. Then they tell you the "work" required is joining their one true church — an organization that didn't exist for the first 1,900 years of Christian history. They call you a liar and threaten you with Revelation 21:8 if you refuse. That's not the Gospel. That's spiritual coercion. Here's what this video exposes, verse by verse: ✅ James 2 is NOT an argument against faith alone — it's an argument against FAKE faith ✅ Acts 20:28 in EVERY Greek manuscript says "Church of GOD" — not "Church of Christ" ✅ Abraham was justified by FAITH in Genesis 15 — BEFORE the works of Genesis 22 ✅ Works are the FRUIT of salvation — not the ROOT ✅ The one true church was never registered in the Philippines in 1914 Whether you're coming from a Roman Catholic background, an Eastern Orthodox or Greek Orthodox tradition, or you've been sitting in INC worship services your entire life — the question of how a sinner is made right before a holy God is the most important question you will ever face. You deserve the full counsel of Scripture. Not the Pasugo. Not incmedia. Not the Council of Trent. The Word of God alone.
