Restored page from obvious POV edit unfairly favoring the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
I'm a member, and I think that quote describes the INC succintly and perfectly. It has created its share of controversy, and mainly focuses on discrediting Presbyterian and Catholic ideology.
Does this part sound NPOV? "Noted for its distinctive church architecture of narrow pointed spires, it is a controversial organization that seeks to disestablish the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, which is the predominant religion in the country."
"and many say that the Church administration was told to stop by Internal Revenue Service agents": sounds like a rumor to me. Isn't this supposed to be an encyclopedia?
Just Church of Christ
I think there is some confusion here. Unless this is talking about a different group, Iglesia ni Christo is just "Church of Christ" in another language. This article sounds like it more or less describes the Church of Christ, with some confusion from people who probably don't understand it. The Church of Christ was certainly not established in the Philippines! 69.148.82.46 17:29, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Two Points
First of all, this group is an indigenous Filipino group and is not identical to the Church of Christ of the American Restoration Movement, which also has a major mission work in the Philippines, adding to confusion regarding the two groups. Also, both claim to be nothing more than just the continuation or restoration of the original church established by Jesus Christ; whether either group or any such group has the actual right to claim such a thing must be of needs left to a higher Authority than myself, or Misplaced Pages.
Second, yes, the name is no more than "Church of Christ" in Tagalog (Filipino).
