EXPOSING THE PENTECOSTAL MISSIONARY CHURCH OF CHRIST (FOURTHWATCH) OF REV. ARSENIO T.

FERRIOL
BY: Anonymous

FOUNDER: REV. ARSENIO T. FERRIOL

They call him: "APOSTLE ARSENIO FERRIOL," "GOD'S SENT ONE," "APOSTLE IN THE END TIME,"
"BELOVED APOSTLE," LIVING APOSTLE, or SUGONG APOSTOL.

PECULIAR BELIEFS AND PRACTICES

1. They believe that Rev. Arsenio T. Ferriol is GOD'S SENT LIVING APOSTLE for our time.

2. They believe that an end-time mystery was revealed only to their living apostle. They call that
revealed mystery as the fourth watch citing Mark 4:11 and 13:35, they say we are now living in the
fourth watch.

3. Since they have the living Apostle...

a. They belong to the one true Church, that is, the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch).

b. They preach the gospel that saves; the rest can preach it but they do not have a message that saves.

c. They have the correct and the authoritative teaching and understanding of the Scriptures. In their
"authoritative" understanding of the Scriptures they teach...

i. The FATHER IS GOD, THE SON IS GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD but not a Trinity.

ii. The Personality of the Holy Spirit and the divinity and sinless humanity of Christ but they also teach
that during incarnation Christ took off his form of God (kenosis heresy).

iii. Baptism by immersion is one of the prerequisites to salvation or to being born again (baptismal
regenerationism error) which happens after repentance which happens after belief.

iv. The AUTHORIZED BAPTISM IS ADMINISTERED ONLY BY THE LIVING APOSTLE or by his ordained
ministers called, "MGA SUGO".

v. To remain saved, one has to keep good standing with God through various 4th Watch activities.

4. They consider "public offering" as one of the signs of a true Church. They preach in crowded streets
and inside the buses while at the same time PASS AROUND ENVELOPS OR COLLECTION BAG FOR
MONEY.

KENOSIS HERESY
+ They believe that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. They also believe in
humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as in the Personality of the Holy Spirit. However, they seem to
be espousing the heresy of kenosis.
+ What then is the form of Christ before He has taken the form of man? In Philippians 2:6 it is stated
that He took off the form of God. And when he took the form of man He was born of Mary and Joseph.
(The Word, Vol.9. No. 65, p.13).

+ Kenosis theory came out of the Reformation period. One of those who taught this theory was a
Lutheran named Gottfried Thomasius. This theory suggests that part or all of the divine attributes of
Christ were TAKEN OFF, GIVEN UP, OR EMPTIED at the incarnation.

+ This theory must be rejected for its inconsistent with Colossians 2:9 which says, "For in him dwelleth
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."

2 CORINTHIANS 2:17
"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God." As you can see, both both translations are
violated by PMCC (4th Watch).

They violate the NIV translation because they peddle the word of God for profit. They violate the KJV
translation because they corrupt the word of God just to rationalize their peddling.

Luke 10:3-4 does not mention anything about money. In fact, the disciples were not told to bring
money-purse.

3"Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor
shoes: and salute no man by the way." (Luke 10:3-4)

They were not told to bring any MONEY-PURSE. Ironically, the rare occasions we see PMCC (4th Watch)
peddling the word of God for profit without money-purse is when they preach in buses and ask us to put
money inside brown envelopes instead.

+ Did the early disciples collect money from the public and then use their collection money to buy food?
NO! They were invited to houses and there they are fed.

+ No money was involved; remember they were told to not bring money-purses. Remember also that
they were not told to eat from house to house, "And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such
things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire.

+ Go not from house to house," (Luke 10:7) in stark contrast, the PMCC (4th Watch) spares no man in
the public.

Ang pagtanggap ng kaloob sa lahat ng tao ay tanda ng tunay na mangangaral o mananampalataya. Ito
rin ay tanda ng tunay na Iglesia. (The Word, Vol. 9, Issn. 94, 1998, p.24)
[Translation: Receiving gifts from all men is a sign of a true preacher or believer. This is also the sign of
the true Church. (Emphasis mine.)]

+ Finally, since they believe that public offering is a sign of the true Church what do you suppose they
think of non-PMCC (4th Watch) churches who does not preach and collect money in the streets?
