Examine the Verse
Romans 15:6
This verse is claimed to provide the basis of the Iglesia ni Cristo belief
that the Father in heaven is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.

   that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Romans 15:6,  New King James Version)
 
  Iglesia ni Cristo belief in God and Jesus Christ:
Iglesia ni Cristo believes in the absolute oneness of God, that "the Only True God is the Father" in heaven; The Father is the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of all things. God is Spirit, eternal, immortal and invisible; He is the God and Father of Jesus Christ and His Apostles; and that of Moses,
Abraham and the ancient Israelites.
Iglesia ni Cristo believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. As the Son of God,
Jesus is a Man.  However, Jesus is not an ordinary man but a "very special Man",
who was sanctified; made Lord, Christ, Savior, Mediator and Judge by God.
 
  Apostle's admonition, warning and unique way of teaching:
1. No prophecy of scripture is a matter of personal interpretation. (II Pt. 1:20, NAB)
2. Do not go beyond  what is written. (I Cor. 4:6, NIV)
 3. We do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit,
using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. (1 Cor. 2:13, NLT)
 
  Points to Consider:  
  1.  Notice that the above verse was part of Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans admonishing them to be united in one mind and one voice.
2.   In the verse, Apostle Paul clearly said "that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Thus Apostle Paul teaches the the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ must be glorified.
3.  Please note carefully, that the Lord Jesus Christ has indeed a God and Father which is consistent with Christ's declaration in John 20:17 "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."
