I'm going to do a series of videos on Apollo Quibloy. Pastor Quibloy is actually a leader of a large movement in the
Philippines and he has some teachings that are very questionable. So I'm going to deal with these questions and answer them in a series of videos.
So the first question we want to ask is who is Apollo Quibloy? Apollo Quibloy was born in a small village in Davao City, if I'm pronouncing that correctly, in the
Philippines. It is claimed that at his birth his mother saw a vision of the face of God smiling down from the sky which said to her, that is my son.
After high school Quibloy attended a Bible College and later became the national youth president for the
United Pentecostal Church. It was after this that he formed his own organization called the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ or the Name Above Every Name Incorporated and he did this on September 1st 1985.
Quibloy has since claimed that Jesus came to be the Savior for the Jewish people in their
Jewish setting but that he is the Son of God for the people of the Gentiles or the non -Jews.
Supposedly he was chosen by God for this very mandate on April 13th 2003 although it doesn't make us wonder how we
Gentiles have done so well without him for the past nineteen hundred and seventy years.
Anyhow Quibloy left his denomination the United Pentecostal Church with 15 members where he then set up his current ministry where he remains today.
Interestingly he has since claimed that on April 13th 2005 that God has given him kingship, that God is finished with him and he is now in a state of perfection similar to Adam before the fall.
Now in talking about Quibloy we need to also look at the influence of his teachings.
It is suggested today that there are six million members, four million in the Philippines and two million abroad, the vast majority of which are in the
Philippines although they're growing in such places as Australia, England, Kenya and many other nations.
To see how successful they are you can just look at the link below. So Apollo Quibloy is so influential in the
Philippines that he is starting to play a part in Filipino politics after recently praying for the former
Filipino Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, if I'm pronouncing that correctly again, to become the next president.
He even had many presidential candidates at his recent 60th presidential or 60th birthday party
I should say. So Apollo Quibloy is very influential, he has millions of and I'm going to explore his teachings in a series of following videos.
