11 VLN Statement of Faith

What We Believe

The Bible

2 Timothy 3:16-17

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is God-breathed and serves as the foundation for faith, doctrine, daily living, and ministry.

The One True God

Deuteronomy 6:4 | Matthew 28:19 | 1 John 5:6-8

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

John 3:16 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, sacrificial and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, and through faith in Him mankind is redeemed.

Salvation

Romans 3:21-30 | Ephesians 2:8-10 | Acts 4:12

We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation. No amount of good works can produce justification before God, yet genuine faith produces a transformed life marked by righteousness and spiritual growth.

The Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8 | Acts 2:4 | 1 Corinthians 12

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers and empowers them for Christian life and ministry. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the active operation of the gifts of the Spirit today.

Divine Healing

Isaiah 53:4 | Matthew 8:16-17 | 1 Peter 2:24

We believe divine healing is provided for in the atonement and is available to believers through the power of God.

The Church

Matthew 28:18-20 | Ephesians 2:19-22 | Hebrews 10:25

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, both universal and local, composed of those who have been born again through faith in Jesus Christ.

The mission of the Church is to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, equip believers for ministry, and care for one another in Christian community.

The Believer

Luke 10:27

We believe every believer is called to know God, grow in spiritual maturity, love others, and participate in the work of the ministry through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Humanity and Sin

Genesis 1:26 | Romans 6:23

We believe humanity was created in the image of God, but through sin became separated from God and unable to save itself apart from Christ.

The Return of Christ and Eternal Judgment

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 | Revelation 20:11-12

We believe in the imminent and personal return of Jesus Christ. We believe there will be a final judgment resulting in everlasting life for believers and eternal separation from God for those who reject Christ.

I have read and agree with the VLN Statement of Faith as written above. *
