To Believer112, thank you for your reply from my comment. I am sorry I have strong doubts about the BNP movement. I had been warned by people who left the BNP to be careful what to say against the BNP. I’m sorry I’m just a cradled catholic and don’t really know much about my catholic faith. I thought BNP will help my family grow to true catholic faith but I began to doubt when they venerate Ate Salve as someone who is really up there.
I am very grateful we now have a catholic radio. Now, I learned that the BNP is not following the teachings of the catholic faith. I went to Ontario on Holy Week as a guest. I was asked several questions before admission. The person issuing the pass told my sponsor I could not gain entrance until I pass some of his questions. So he told my sponsor to indoctrinate me about the BNP before I could get a pass.
My sponsor set me aside and told me the following;
- Jesus Christ is the founder of BNP.
- Ate Salve is the Chairperson of BNP.
- “Mahal na Ingkong” is Jesus Christ.
- I don’t exactly remember all the other questions but maybe “Believer112” still knows them all.
I was very uncomfortable when I had to go through the tests. As a respect to my sponsor, I answered the questions according to what he told me. However, I told the examiner that “Mahal na Ingkong” is not Jesus Christ. There are only three persons in the trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I will not call Jesus Christ as the Beloved Grandfather or Mahal na Ingkong which I understand is Ate Salve according to BNP. That is the fourth God that the BNP believes. The examiner left and talked to a member of the “Counsel” and the “Counsel” came and talked to my sponsor. He asked, if I would be okay. I felt at the time that I would create trouble because I didn’t answer correctly.
There were hundreds of BNP members from around the country who gathered at the BNP gym on that Good Friday night. At around 3:00AM, after a long wait of watching some programs and sitting all night, the lights were put out and I was told to take my shoes off because we are now on Holy Ground. I was to kneel and to look down always because “HE” is here. Then, Ate Salve came to the stage dressed in white and she spoke (from the bible). My sponsor said that was Mahal na Ingkong speaking and that was Jesus Christ. Someone I know from the congregation also said that was Mahal na Ingkong. (I 'd heard on the Catholic radio that no one represents God). After an hour or so, she came towards the members and raised her hands blessing the congregation. Everyone knelt to her including me.(I think she was representing God again) I was worried and uncomfortable. It was a frightening experience for me. I asked some BNP why they created another name to Jesus Christ. I was told it was only a name. There are other alarming things going on that I noticed with the BNP because I had read some of the correspondence they exchanged. I went through google and noticed what other BNP regard to Ate Salve and Mahal na Ingkong. I know I am still ignorant from a lot of teachings about our Catholic faith.
I’m sorry but this was my experience. I am willing to meet with BELIEVER112 to discuss some of my issues with the BNP which I think is also from the Bay Area. I have many questions about the BNP.
I regret that I only went to church on Sunday’s and didn’t pursue the true teachings of our catholic faith. I’ll continue to listen to the Catholic radio which had helped know more about being a Catholic. There’s a lot that I need to know and do more being a Catholic. I hope to get my family to one holy and apostolic church.
I asked BNP, that we all unite to one true Catholic and apostolic church. Let’s get our teachings from our Catholic church and the bible.
