What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of the VINE Church Sonoita based on the foundational truths taught in the bible.
All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines. Additionally, we are a Foursquare Church.

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory, honor and praise. We passionately believe that our Heavenly Father is good and perfect in love,
power, holiness, wisdom, knowledge, justice and mercy.
He us unchangeable and is relentless in His love toward us.

We believe God looks like Jesus! The heavenly Father has revealed himself, His nature, and His will toward us in His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the exact representation of God; He Is the visible image of the invisible God. Jesus is God’s word in flesh, Jesus is God’s kingdom that has come to the earth. The Holy Spirit filled Jesus, empowered Him and led him through life. Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to fill, empower and lead us to fulfill our Kingdom purpose and calling.  

There is but one race, the Human race, both male and female, were created in God's love, for His glory, to reflect His image. Being made in the image and likeness of God all humans have significant meaning and possess supreme worth and value. The human race started with Adam and Eve who were created sinless and were appointed to care for God’s creation. In perfect relationship with God they were given authority to extend his rule over the whole of His creation.

Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, humans possess the freedom of will. Man has the will to receive the love of God and in turn to love, trust, and obey Him. When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were created to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, loose their since worth and value in their identity. Their sin fractured and severely broke all of creation ever since that time.

God so loved the world even though the world had fallen greatly that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ to reconcile us with Him.  Jesus lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. Because of His great love, Jesus absorbed all our sin and iniquity by willingly suffering and dying on the cross.  God raised him from the dead triumphing over Satan and death and now
through grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Jesus Christ by faith, as their Lord and Savior.
That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

The Church is the holy Gathering of called out ones by the Holy Spirit to represent or Re-present Jesus Christ on the earth. The church is called into love and fellowship  with one another as authentic brothers and sisters in Christ. The church is filled with  and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be sent into the world to proclaim the Gospel and serve their generation to the Glory of God.

Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He inaugurated His Kingdom on the earth at His coming and invited all people to enter into it by faith and trust in Him. Jesus Christ will return for His bride and will righteously judge the living and dead and the fullness of His rule will be fully realized.
