The AFBCP became one of the original national associations that joined this Far Eastern Regional Bible Fundamental(ist) movement.

In 1999, the AFBCP and the ABCLVM (Association of Baptist Churches in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) co-hosted the 15th FECCC Congress at the Caliraya Re-Creation Center in Laguna, Philippines.

This event was a marvelous reunion of "Senior Citizens" Fundamental Bible Pastors and Missionaries in the Philippines and from the neighboring countries: Dr. K.C.

Seven churches in Southern Negros Occidental (Cauayan, Isio, Caliling, Inayawan, Narra, Tapi and Linaon) formed a new fellowship called Associated Gospel Churches (AGC) because their request for a loan from the ABWE to finish the high school building that was almost finished was denied (loan not denied but diverted to other school).

The issue of indigenization became so crucial that the fellowship was broken particularly when in the north, another school's request for financial aid was granted.

The churches in the south felt that there was favoritism and special preference and so another Baptist fellowship was formed not because of doctrine or ethics but over missions philosophy and policy of financial support.

In 1958 the Seminary transferred to Taytay, Rizal in the property bought by ABWE for the Seminary, leaving FBCM as the sole occupant of the church compound.In line with the program of indigenization, the lot and church building in Padre Faura, which was built and owned by ABWE, was sold in 1961 to FBCM for the price of the lot (in 1936) and building construction cost (in 1951).

In 1963, the controversy over biblical separation and compromise was simmering in the AFBCP with three churches and their respective pastors at the center of the conflict.

All issues, having been clouded with other personal problems between Filipino-American leadership became impossible to solve especially because Filipino leaders were polarized to take opposite sides in the conflict.

With the possibility of expulsion from the AFBCP, the intention to sell the church building became subject to many questions which were pre-emptive in nature.

Gavino Tica, which were voted out of the AFBCP in June 1965 during the Biennial Conference in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental over the issue on biblical separation and compromise.

The controversy stemmed from the accusations that the three pastors had violated the AFBCP Articles of Faith, particularly on the ecumenical evangelistic method of Dr. Billy Graham, Far East Broadcasting Company, Back to the Bible Broadcast, Overseas Missionary Fellowship, New Tribes Missions, and other missions organizations which are inclusivistic and ecumenical in their evangelistic methods.

Two buses of delegates cut short their attendance and left Kabankalan, Negros Occidental and met at Caingin Beach, Pontevedra, Negros Occidental and formed the ABCLVM and organized the Gethsemane Baptist Church with members who left Calvary Baptist Church (AFBCP) and joined the ABCLVM.

In 1972, just after the Martial Law was declared by former president Ferdinand Marcos, FBCM was evicted from Padre Faura on orders of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.

[original research] After the eviction from Padre Faura, FBCM began the construction of a temporary chapel that could seat about 80 people in Project 6, Quezon City on the lot purchased for P29,000 in 1956.

Each newly organized church shared with FBCM the burden of supporting the missionaries already in the list and each added more as the Lord moved.

This church had been very hospitable to visiting pastors and missionaries from the Philippines including those from the AFBCP who many years ago had not been in fellowship with him.

Dr. Mariano Leones, who was the spokesman in 1965 for the expulsion, came up the stage, and made the motion for reconciliation, which was seconded by Dr. Ernesto Rivera and Rev.

The first break-away was in 1972, when Pastor Gavino Tica came back from his studies at the Tennessee Temple Schools in the United States, and started his own Baptist Association in the Philippines.

Issues involved were very complicated because they ranged from controversies over the Dispensational approach to Biblical interpretation; differences in philosophy of missions operation and support; Bible institute training priorities; conflicting approaches to church discipline and rehabilitation; indigenous policy; bible translation preference and other minor administrative problems mixed with interpersonal conflicts.

The issue was partly impatience over the very slow reactivation of the national activities of the ABCLVM and the wrongly perceived attitude that FBCM and its Senior Pastor Ptr.

Still another significant reason may have been the shift from the Indigenous Missions Policy to foreign support which this new group has adopted soon after its organization.
