DOCTRINES AND BELIEFS OF APOSTOLIC CATHOLIC CHURCH

The Doctrines and Beliefs of  Apostolic Catholic Church

1. THE WAY OF SALVATION
Eternal Salvation is merited, as promised by our Holy Redeemer, Jesus Christ, only through the condition of obedience to the teaching of the Gospel, which requires FAITH, CHARITY and HOPE, and due observance of the Messages of Mahal na Ingkong, God, the Holy Spirit.

2. THE CREED
The basis of the Church's beliefs is the Nicene Creed, which affirms the Divinity of the Triune God. And the Mystical Body of Christ, consisting of the Militant Church on earth, the Cleansing Church in the Purgatory, and the Triumphant Church in Heaven.

3. THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS
The Apostolic Catholic Church (ACC) observes the Seven Sacraments as the fundamental ordinance of the Gospel. The first two which are called the Sacraments of the Dead (consisting of the Sacraments of Baptism and of Confession) omit one's sins. While the other remaining five, which is called the Sacraments of the Living (consisting of the Sacraments of Matrimony, of Holy Orders, of Confirmation, of the Holy Eucharist and of Extreme Unction) maintain one's state in spiritual grace. The Apostolic Catholic Church's Sacrament of Holy Orders (Diaconate, Presbyterate, and Episcopate), follows the apostolic tradition of having married as well as celibate clerics, which tradition emanated from the Old Catholic and Orthodox Teachings. The Apostolic Catholic Church values greatly the essence of receiving the Holy Eucharist in every Sacrifice of the Mass.

4. MARIAN DEVOTION AND MARIOLOGY
The Apostolic Catholic Church celebrates different Marian Feasts, like the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8, the Feast of Lourdes on February 11, and most specially the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8, which is preceded by a grand procession of great Marian Images. The Church believes that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mediatrix of all Graces between Our Lord God, Jesus Christ and mankind. The Apostolic Catholic Church promotes different Marian devotions, and the daily recitation of the fifteen decades of the Holy Rosary, complete with the Litany and the singing of SALVE REGINA and the recitation of the ANGELUS.

The Church believes in the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The Church accepts the Messages of the Blessed Mother in Her Major Apparitions. The Church promotes Block Rosary, as headed by its members or sealed servants. The Church reveres the Blessed Mary so much so that it uses the Marian salutation of "AVE MARIA PURISSIMA, CIN PECADO CON SUVIDA."

THING I REGRET

2 Corinthian 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

Do you have things you regret of doing it, but you have nothing to do but to accept the result of what you did?

When I was in high school I pursued to study in Polytechnic University of the Philippines, a State University in Philippines. This University offered a12 pesos/unit tuition fee the lowest tuition fee in

South East Asia. Students in this University pursuing studies here have a goal having a better life afterwards. PUP belongs to top 15 University in Philippines according to Commission on Higher Education competing to other prestigious Universities. It does not only offer low cost tuition fee but home of top notches and leaders.

I took, Polytechnic University of the Philippines College Entrance Examination (PUPCET). Before, I did not expect to pass the exam and yet I did it. I took Bachelor in Office Administration because I just want to be a simple person who wants to work inside an office.

Sending me to school is not simple thing to my parents for reason of financial.  My father is fish ball vendor while my mother is just plain house wife. My father's profit to his whole day selling of fish balls is not adequate for our everyday expenses including my allowance for food and transportation going to school. I still remember how I sacrificed to finish my first semester in college. I felt I was carrying the big cross going to Calvary of sacrifice. Do you experience searching money I will use to pay for my books? Walking 3 kilometers going to train station because you have only 20 pesos and you can't afford to ride tricycle because you have only for paying tickets back and forth of riding train. Starving on school lucky if you have 2 pesos to buy candy and Automatic Tubig Machine mineral water.

Days after first semester, supposedly, our Semester break it changed my life into a gloomy tragedy that happened in our family. My father died not in accident or he has illness, but he was killed. We don't know the purpose of those evil persons who did inhuman brutal killing to a person like my father. He is such person who has his own affirmation. A father wanted the food he will give to his family would come from his work- to his blood and sweat. Many persons who know my father said how kind he is. Asking why those persons who have kindhearted got first. Why not those who do badly will die.

Right now, I have guilt on my feelings because if I were not pursuing to continue my study still my father will not sell fish ball on weekends. He passed away October 17, 2010, Sunday. Maybe right now he is still alive if I listened to him to stop. That day, I will never forget forever. The day we will celebrate for he found peace right now in heaven together with all angels and saints beside our God.

Pa, wherever you are right now. I am missing you. I have regretted all. You sacrificed a lot for the sake of your morality as person. I did not do anything just to have justice with your death. I know you always told to us "you fight if you know you are not the one who did first, and don’t ever afraid to die because people will die when it is their time. If it is your time, it's your time". Pa, you are such wonderful person I know. You wouldn't see what you need to yourself but always for us. I couldn’t remember you buy clothes, shorts, brief, and pants for yourself. I already know the hardships you were experiencing before just to give our needs. Pa, thank you for everything. I will not let anybody harm Mama and Mayang of anybody else. I will follow my dreams, your dreams for me and to our family. I know you don't want to have a wealthy that we have all, but simple but contented life with a smile in our lips.
