comment lang ako don sa number ng member ni Brod. Eliswo Soriano, i dont believe na aabot ng 7 M members nila. ei dito nga sa province parng wala yang member...
But i am so happy to note that OM Ephraim is on the top 5. Palagay ko pag lalo maging vocal at bigyan ng media exposure ang Obispo sya siguro ay nasa ikalawa. Mas marami pong mananampalataya ang IFI sa bansa kesa sa INC o iba pang Simbahan liban sa Romano.
