Church of God in Christ

Here in the Philippines, there's a church called Church of God in Christ Jesus. The founders of this church actually were expelled ministers of the Iglesia Ni Cristo or Church of Christ.

After few years of its existence, a minister of the Church of God in Christ Jesus went out and build his own and called it, Church of God in Jesus Christ the Pillar of Truth.

After more than decade of its existence, a minister of it named, Eli Soriano, went out and build his own church with the same name in English but is different in Tagalog. In Tagalog his church is called Iglesia Ng Dios Kay Kristo Jesus Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan. While his former church in Tagalog is called Iglesia Ng Dios Kay Kristo Jesus Haligi at Suhay ng Katotohanan.

Later, the church built by Soriano became well known in the name Dating Daan. Later, he changed its name to different names. Now his church is called Church of God International.

However, outside the Philippines, I learned that there's a church called Church of God in Christ. But of course it is different to the Church of God in Christ in the Philippines because they have different doctrines.
