Osmond Sprott: At that time, religion was one of the biggest things in our family. My understanding was just to have faith and just believe in Jesus. You don’t need a church. And then…once you keep on believing, you will be saved. Because in [my religion] before, Jesus is God to us.
Felix Somoza: But then when I heard the doctrine in the Church Of Christ that God is the Father and then Jesus Christ is the Son. The Holy Spirit is different. It can’t be three in one, when there’s one above all.
Mary Guevarra: I would say my “a-ha” moment was the Trinity. The Catholic Church and most Christian churches are very big on that, especially the Catholic Church. And I realized that it didn’t make sense that God could be Christ because Christ was man and God [is] not human. Jesus was human. God [is] spirit. He can’t be seen. And that’s what made no sense to me. I’m like, “There can’t be a Trinity.”
Maricar Crisostomo: I always thought, “I’m right, because I know the Bible. I grew up with the Bible my entire life. There really is, there [are] three persons in one. There really is God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus.” And for months, I could not accept the teaching that the Church Of Christ was teaching. That those are all separate and there’s only one God. And that was so so hard for me to accept.
Ron Espanto: I remember watching The Ten Commandments. They talked about the Laws of God, the Ten Commandments. And one of them, you shall not worship any other God. When I would ask my mom why is she praying to this so-called Virgin Mary or the so-called image of the Lord Jesus Christ, she would always tell me that that’s what she was taught. She would always just say, “Oh, you know, this is our belief.”
I was already asking that in my head, “What is the truth? There must be something true out there.” And when I decided to undergo the Bible studies inside the Church Of Christ, the minister told me, “If you don’t believe what I’m saying, bring your Bible. I will use the Bible that you bring to teach you then.”
Mary Christmas: In order to obtain salvation, you have to know who the only true God is. And if you don’t know, and you misplace all your trust— God doesn’t appreciate that. So knowing who the true God is and knowing who Jesus is— is the most important thing that I learned.
Ron Espanto: The enlightening moment is when you get to know the true God. I’m just glad that I was able to come to that knowledge of truth that I received inside the Church Of Christ.
