What are the Christian doctrines denied by the Igreja Maná (Mana Church), if any?

Accepted answer
Based on the Portuguese Wikipedia page they look like a fairly typical Pentecostal/charismatic church. Whether that's a denial of Christian doctrine depends on you.
Personally I do think that teaching that we can all expect great prosperity in this life is a false gospel, and that to expect all Christians to speak in tongues is a denial of 1 Corinthians 12:4-31, but I'm not certain this church actually teaches those things, they could teach softer more acceptable versions.
As to calling their founder an Apostle, that's not uncommon in Pentecostalism, or Christianity more broadly. That webpage you found, CARM, is the work on one individual and of course lots of people would disagree with that criteria for Apostlehood. As apostle means "one who is sent" I think there's a very good case for calling Christian missionaries "apostles". Either way, it's not very noteworthy.
All in all, it looks like a pretty typical Pentecostal church. I can't see any major warning signs.
