We basically follow everything that is written in the Bible. We don't use symbols, we don't have graven images, we don't celebrate Christmas (although we consider the celebration as a "tradition", but not a religious belief).

A typical day at church would be coming in before the designated time (so you'll have time to sit down and pray), and when the doors are closed no one is allowed to come inside (to keep the solemnity of the service), singing of hymns, then discussion of a certain topic chosen by the church administration, and then giving of offerings and it's done.

It's a common misconception that we are forced to give offerings at a fixed amount since we have built those wonderful churches for such a short time. That's absolutely not true. If we give a lot to the church, it is because we are taught to give at our heart's desire.

Also, whenever we vote, we vote as one. How is that done? It is pre-determined by the church administration on who to vote. The reason on this is that the Bible requires the church to "be one, and act as one". Besides, we do not want a divided church. Sure, individuality is a good thing, but for us, it's not worth losing the unity of the church over.

Well, there are still a lot of things, but these are the top two issues you might want to know. If you want to know more, feel free to reply. :P

Christmas is a pagan [religious] celebration. Its the birth of a pagan god Sol Invictus, the unconquerable Sun. To celebrate such is adultery in the sight of God.

To celebrate a pagan festival is against all God's teachings.

To celebrate the birth of Christ on any one of the days of the year is not.

To use Christmas trees etc is pagan, to worship Christ and God is not.

saan at paano ba nag simula ang biblia?
kc lahat ng sagot sa mga tnong ntin ay sa biblia kinukuha. i would like to know kung meron p bng ibang references n pwdeng gmitin bukod dito? i mean, ang mga author lng b ng bible ang marunong magsulat noong unang panahon at wla ng ibang tao or libro ang magpapatunay na totoo ang nkalagay dito (bible)?

Totoo n may Diyos, dhil sya ang gumawa sa lhat ng bagay na nkikita ntin....
to make the discussion wide...binangit sa biblia kung pno ginawa ang mundo...pro sa literal na pag aaral ng mga elementarya eh meron pang mga ibang planeta, (na cguradong alm nyo rin)...tanong ko lng po..meron b sa biblia o binangit din po ba sa biblia kung pno ginawa ang mga ito...bkit po ang mundong ito lng ang pinagtuonan ng pansin?

to make it more challenging...naisip nyo rin ba na bka meron din ibang galaxy na merong nabubuhay na kung ano, bukod sa galaxy natin? Gaya ng kung pno ginawa ang mundong ito na nadiskubre ng mga elementarya na meron din plng ibang planeta.
dali hanap n ng sagot...

pls lng...pkisagot (religiuosly) ng tama at merong basehan.
