A visiting brother in Christ from General Santos City...!

It is always good to acquiant with our brethren in the Lord! Brother Jolly Julom, our brother in the Lord and a fellow gospel preacher from General Santos City was arrived here in the island of Palawan last August 25/2010. The purpuse of his coming was to visit some of his relatives and friends here in Puerto Princesa and in the town of Quezon. In Quezon, he was able to have a gospel meeting appointments to his former friends in "Alliance church". No conversion yet, but it's open the door for us to do a follow teaching to the 15 souls that he was taught. As you know, Brother Jolly Julom was formerly in the group of "Alliance church" serving as Pastor for 35 years, but when he learned the truth and obeyed the gospel, he leave this group and now he is faithfully serving the Lord and in to His one true church (the church of Christ - Matt.16:18; Acts 20:28; Eph.5:23; Col 1:18). Brother Jolly was also traveled in Brooke's Point and meet brother Jonathan Sapitula and other faithful saints there..and in the night of September 04/2010 he also meet me here in Puerto Princesa City, then on September 05/2010 he attended the church services here in the City....

Baptism of Seven (7) souls in Isumbo church of Christ a Newly started congregation...!

I made several preaching trip last June 2010 in Southern part of Palawan, particularly in the village of Isumbo Espanola, Palawan, to help Brother Judson Montimor and bro. Danilo Belviz (my younger brother in the flesh) to open a new local congregation there. At first, we had an initial (3) three families contacts for Home bible study; these families are in the faith of “Assemblies of God”. But sadly, two years ago some their group members was scattered due to the extra-marital affair of their pastor to one of the lady member in their congregation. But these three (3) families were one of those who continue in their faith having lead by their “woman preacher” they called it “pastora”.
Fortunately, two (2) months ago these families were meet by my brother and Judson Montimor while they are doing a Bible tracts (“THE ONE TRUE CHURCH” and “BAPTISM ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE”) distribution in this community. These Families were become interested having more questions asked to brother Judson Montimor and bro. Danilo Belviz, since then, the Home Bible study had been arranged and conducted every Friday afternoon and I am fortunate to study the Bible with these interested family.
This last June 26/2010 I preached again to these families, our lesson was about “ENTERING THE CHURCH”. Then invitation song was extended and seven (7) souls came forward, confessed their faith and they were baptized into Christ! To God all be the glory. - In Christian love, Dario D. Belviz

Photos of baptism last June 26/2010 of the three families in the village of Isumbo. They are Doquet Cantong-27 years old, his wife Rodelyn Cantong-23 years old, Bedion Pansil-26 years old and his wife Julieta Pansil -19 years old, then Galsim Oror – 46 years old and his wife Rosela Oror – 40 years old, and their daughter Rodecel Oror – 15 years old. I and Brother Judson Montimor were done the immersion of these seven souls. We rejoice to our Lord Jesus Christ to these new additions to His kingdom. Please pray also to these seven souls will stay faithful and become a strong Christians in despite of the strong persecutions coming from their former group.

As scheduled, I preached to the newly brethren in Isumbo congregation a lesson about “AFTER CONVERSION” as newly converted into Christ, I want them to remember some things; that they are now a New Creature, Babes in Christ, facing critical period, and there is a possibility of falling among Christians. But God wants them to; Love Him first, Study the word, pray always, Assemble regularly, give, and help save others.

I am discussing about "Water Baptism" for the information of those attendees who is a member of the group called " Grace Gospel church of Christ - Things to come Mission". This group strongly believed that water baptism had been ceased and the baptism of Holy Spirit is need to be practice by those who want to be a children of God. They also believe that water baptism had been practiced only by the 12 apostle and when the grace dispensation had come through the preaching of Apostle Paul, the practice of Water baptism had no effect for the remissions of sins. On my discussion I carefully reputed all these false teaching by the light of the scriptures. At the end of our discussion it was a big surprised to us for the three(3) souls from this group who want to be baptize into Christ...!

Taking my time while I am discussing the topic about "Water Baptism"...!
