Based on what i notice and observed, I just wondering why of all the religion's churches, only those of IGLESIA NI CHRISTO Church are very unique on its construction and the shape of their church....
I ask many of my friends and the day that one of them answer me in joke:
that the reason why their church is supposed to be looked that way because when the judgement day comes, their church will become a Spaceship and only those number of people will survive....

There is a short piece about the distinctive architecture of the Iglesias Ni Christo churches here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Temple#Architecture
Since the church was founded in 1914 and claims to be a return to the original form of Christianity, it is to be expected that the design of their churches will be somewhat modern and will seek to be different from other church architecture.

Iglesia ni Christo started in the Philippines,
and i once thought that it is one of the foreign type of religion...

Yes, the Iglesia ni Christo is a Philippino church (which is why the name is in Filipino) and was founded by a man who saw himself as the fulfilment of a prophesy in Revelations. The church rejects the doctrine of the Trinity and other things as being non-biblical and apostate. It tends to claim, without much real authority (as with a number of other sects), that it is "the one true church". Since Roman Catholicism is the dominant Christian sect in the Philippines, it is not at all remarkable that the founder was a Catholic whose researches caused him to reject many Catholic doctrines.

I ask one of my Roman Catholic Fellow,
i challenge him to find 3 personas if ever he can find it in the passage of the Roman Bible,
and he replied to me that there you can find that 3 personas in the bible,
he said, it is called "The Holy Trinity"
but he didn't show me the correct passages if what verse or chapter is it,
but he insist that he already find that "Holy Trinity" in the Roman Catholic Bible before....
he find it,
but he did not give me the passages to support the claim,
i am still not convinced with him....
