VHE Statement of Faith(Click here for printer-friendly form of this page)
We believe:
-
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes
completed and final revelation. The Bible, in its original autograph, is
without error in whole and in part: including theological concepts as
well as geographical and historical details.
-
God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was God in human
flesh being fully God and fully man except without sin.
-
All men are in violation of God's righteous requirements and His
holy character both by nature and act: and are therefore under His wrath
and just condemnation. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ
was to pay the penalty for man's sin through His substitutionary death on
the cross -- the successful accomplishment of which was attested to by His
subsequent visible, bodily resurrection.
-
Salvation is offered as a gift: free to the sinner. This gift must
be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works
whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.
This is the VHE Statement of Faith as stated in
the original Constitution for VHE, Article IV.
