Question: "Who is Apollo Quiboloy and what is the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Church?"
Answer: Apollo Quiboloy is the founder and leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Name Above Every Name (KJC), a Philippines-based Oneness Restorationist sect. Quiboloy was the former youth president of the National Assembly of United Pentecostal Church in the Philippines, a Oneness Pentecostal denomination. Quiboloy claims that God the Father sent him to Mt. Kitbog in Malalag, Cogon, South Cotabato, in Mindanao, where the Father spoke to him and showed him many miracles for one year to convince him of his calling. After this period of revelation and faith-building, Quiboloy was finally convinced that it was God who called him.
Apollo Quiboloy teaches that the first man, Adam, was created with a body and a soul but without a spirit. The completion of God's creation of man is the putting of His Spirit within him. But before God could do that for Adam, the devil implanted his spirit within man. This spirit of the devil is what Quiboloy calls the "serpent seed." This serpent seed drove Adam and all his posterity to disobey God. Humans were children of the devil, and they could do nothing about it. Only God the Father can solve this spiritual problem—not religion, and not denominations.
Quiboloy teaches that "the Christ in the Jewish setting" was unable to complete the work of salvation. Jesus was sent by God the Father to the Jews but was only able to "touch" the work of dislodging the serpent seed within man as His message was misunderstood and rejected by the Jews. What Christ started He was not able to finish. The Jews' rejection of Christ as their Savior from the serpent seed is why God raised up Quiboloy. He is now the "chosen one" who will dislodge the serpent seed from those who believe in his message. God has made Quiboloy "the Christ in the Gentile setting." Quiboloy asserts that all the claims of the biblical Christ can be applied to himself. For example, Quiboloy claims that He is also "the way the truth and the life" and that "no one comes to the Father except through [Quiboloy]" (John 14:6).
Like those of other cults, Quiboloy's teachings are either twisting or outright contradicting what the Scriptures teach. There is no such thing in the Bible as a "serpent seed" infecting mankind. The devil did not implant his spirit within Adam that caused him to disobey God. Adam's sinful nature is the consequence of his act of disobedience.
Contrary to Quiboloy's teaching, salvation is not attained by "dislodging the serpent seed within man." Salvation is the free gift of God in Jesus, who satisfied the wrath of God against sin by paying its penalty on the cross (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 3:24–26). Christ said on the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30), signifying that He has completed the work of salvation. There is no need for "another" Christ, for the Christ of the Bible has perfectly accomplished the work of salvation: "For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy" (Hebrews 10:14).
Jesus, the Christ of the Bible, has warned us not to believe in those who claim to be the Messiah: "If anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time" (Matthew 24:23–25). One such false messiah is Apollo Quiboloy, with his claim to be the "Appointed Son of God."
Quiboloy's claim that he is no longer sinning is a blatant lie. The apostle John says, "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8). Worse is Quiboloy's claim that he is the Son of God. Quiboloy accepts service, worship, adoration, and praise, and his members call him Father, Son of God, Christ, and Savior. Accepting worship and adoration due to God alone is blasphemy, and Quiboloy's followers are committing idolatry. Quiboloy is one of the "many antichrists" mentioned in 1 John 2:18.
