No self respecting INC member would EVER call himself part of the restorationist faith community.

Iglesia Ni Cristo believes they are the restoration, and outside their little group, there is no salvation.

After the fall of Israel, she was replaced by the Church Of Christ (I Pet. 2:9, 3-5; Matt. 16:18; Rom. 16:16; Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation). Eventually, after the death of the Apostles, this Church which was established by Christ in the first century departed from the true faith. It was apostatized (Matt. 24:4, 11; Acts 20:29-30; I Tim. 4:1-3).

In these last days, God sent His messenger to administer man’s return to the true teachings of the Church. And it is in the Philippines (in the Far East) where God sent an angel or messenger to preach the true and pure Gospel of Christ to the people in order to bring them back to the true Church (Rev. 7:2-3; Isa. 43:5-7).

...

The Iglesia Ni Cristo believes that the task of understanding God’s words in the Bible, and teaching them without any alteration, without adding or diminishing, is given exclusively to the messengers of God (Mark 4:11-12; Rom. 10:15; Deut. 12:32).

We believe that the late Brother Felix Y. Manalo is God’s last messenger; he was the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecies concerning the messenger from the Far East (Rev. 7:2-3) who would preach to God’s sons and daughters in these last days (Isa. 43:5-6; 46:11; 41:9-11). God reveals the meaning of His words to His messengers by means of the Holy Spirit (II Pet. 1:20-21), and the proof that the messengers were taught by the Holy Spirit is that their teachings never contradict one another (I Cor. 2:13).

Hogwash bro. No self respecting INC member that I know (and I have known a ton of them) has ever used those words. Yes, they do think they are the OTC, just like the Catholics do. They are full of it, of course. The INC is a cult, with a capital C. I would venture to guess, you have never met an INC member. If you haven’t, count yourself lucky. You aren’t missing a thing.
The INC. An angel and his church. It’s pure bunk. 👎
