Many allegations and speculations have been made about the yenesterday's Grand Evangelical Mission of the outphenomenal Religious group in the world, which was held globally but what was it really about yesterday's celebration??
In a separate interview with ANC, INC lay leader Moises Tolentino said the big rally later today, which will start officially at 5:00 p.m. at the Quirino Grandstand, will follow the usual format “including singing praises, sermons, and [other topics] to be discussed.”
Asked what the latter could be, he said: “We don’t have any idea what exactly will be discussed and even if we touch on some social issues of the day, it should be part of the basic belief that everything we do…must be based on biblical verses.”
He said the social commentaries should be based on a religious orientation.
Told that President Benigno Aquino III will not be attending, he said: “That’s the position of the president. He’s entitled to it, but we’re extending the invite to everyone.”
Tolentino said this is not the first time that such a big gathering will happen. They do this every year in July for their anniversary.
Asked how often such big event happens outside their anniversary, Tolentino said: “It just happened that our [Executive Minister Brother Felix Y. Manalo] implemented this year as the year of intense propagation in preparation for our centennial.”
The INC was registered on July 1914. Over the years, it has gained so much influence that it has even welcomed to its fold several popular leaders and officials in the country. It is known for its bloc voting during elections.
“This religious activity is one of the means by which the Church propagates the teachings of God in the Bible that members of the INC believe to be essential for man’s salvation,” INC spokesman Bienvenido Santiago said yesterday.
Well these tells exactly that the grand evangelical mission yesterday,although related to social issues, will not and is not going to alter our members decisions about the political issue.
