The Kingdom of Jesus Christ or The Name above Every Name Inc.

on September 1st,
1985 was formed by Apollo C. Quiboloy. Quiboloy was born in a small village in Davao
City, in the Philippines. It is claimed that at 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,
Quiboloy attended a Bible college and later became the national youth president for the
United Pentecostal Church.

Apollo Quiboloy calls his “church” the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Name Above Every Name.
The organization has upwards of 6 million members, mostly in the Philippines. Quiboloy also
runs the Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), a television network that regularly airs
his preaching. His teachings are also heard on more than 15 radio stations all over the
Philippines. Quiboloy trains his workers in his ACQ College of Ministries and acts as president
of Jose Maria College. His sect also runs an orphanage called the Children’s Joy Foundation.

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).

Apollo Quiboloy exalts himself above all other men. He declares that, of all the members of
the Adamic race who have inherited the serpent seed, he is the only one able to pass God’s
test by fully surrendering his will to Him. Quiboloy claims to be without sin and no longer able
to sin, although still has knowledge of good and evil. He claims to be the first member of
Adamic race in the Gentile setting to have a living relationship with the Father. According to
Quiboloy, God the Father has implanted within him His seed, and he has become the “seed”
of Jesus Christ. Quiboloy is therefore God’s example of obedience, commitment, and
dedication who must be emulated by all men. According to Quiboloy, he is the most righteous
person living on earth today.

Quiboloy claims that, after five years of germinating the seed of Jesus Christ in him, God
called him as His Son. God finally said to Quiboloy, “I’ll send you to the world. My children
are waiting. You don’t know them. They don’t know you. But when they hear your voice, they
will listen to you because my sheep know my voice. You will be my audible voice in the
world.”

Oddly, Quiboloy also believes that the Father and the Son reside in his body and that he is the
embodiment and culmination of all the revelations of God. In an effort to validate his claim to
be the Son of God, Quiboloy built a compound in Mt. Tamayong, Davao City, that he calls “the
New Jerusalem.” He claims that this is the New Jerusalem mentioned in the book of
Revelation and that he is the King of kings reigning there. Quiboloy envisions that this
compound will become the seat of the world government, and he anticipates ruling the whole
world one day. For this reason, he is pro-active in endorsing politicians and in vocalizing his
opinion on politics. He once prophesied that a presidential aspirant by the name of Giberto
Teodoro would win the 2010 presidential elections, but he (and the prophecy) failed.

Apollo Quiboloy calls his “church” the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Name Above Every Name.
The organization has upwards of 6 million members, mostly in the Philippines. Quiboloy also
runs the Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), a television network that regularly airs
his preaching. His teachings are also heard on more than 15 radio stations all over the
Philippines. Quiboloy trains his workers in his ACQ College of Ministries and acts as president

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.

John also tells us to test the spirits: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By
this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the
flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the
spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already” (1 John
4:1–3). Believers who value the truth should have nothing to do with the false teacher Apollo
Quiboloy.
