What We Believe

Doctrinal Field Brief — Ministry Statement of Faith

“Let us Live to make men free”

Every unit stands on its orders. Every ministry stands on its doctrine. What follows is the Statement of Faith that governs Veterans & Patriots United — the fixed truths we do not negotiate, and the foundation everything else we do is built on.

Articles of Faith

The Standing Orders

Art. I — Deity of Christ

Jesus Christ Is Lord

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man — eternal Son, sinless Savior, Lord of all.

Jn 1:1,14 · Col 2:9 · Heb 1:3 · Isa 9:6

We affirm Jesus Christ is Lord — fully God, fully man.

Art. II — Scripture Is God-Breathed

The Word Of God

The Bible — all 66 books — is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and supreme authority for faith and practice.

2 Tim 3:16–17 · 2 Pet 1:20–21 · Ps 119:105

We affirm Scripture is our standing orders — final and without error.

Art. III — The Holy Trinity

One God, Three Persons

God eternally exists as one Being in three co-equal Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Matt 28:19 · 2 Cor 13:14 · Deut 6:4

We affirm one God — Father, Son, Holy Spirit — co-equal and eternal.

Art. IV — Human Sinfulness

Fallen And In Need

All humanity is born in sin — spiritually dead, morally corrupt, and justly condemned before a holy God.

Rom 3:23 · Rom 5:12 · Eph 2:1–3

We affirm all have sinned and stand in desperate need of a Savior.

Art. V — Salvation By Grace Alone

Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone

Salvation is entirely God’s work — received through faith alone in Christ alone, never earned by human effort.

Eph 2:8–9 · Rom 3:24–25 · Jn 3:16

We affirm: grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone.

Art. VI — The Three Tenses of Salvation

Justified. Sanctified. Glorified.

Past — Justified

Saved from sin’s Penalty

Rom 8:30

Present — Sanctified

Saved from sin’s Power

Phil 1:6 · 2 Cor 3:18

Future — Glorified

Saved from sin’s Presence

Rom 8:23 · 1 Jn 3:2

We affirm: justified, sanctified, and glorified — all by His grace, for His glory.

Art. VII — Repentance, Remission & Reconciliation

The Gospel Gateway

Repentance

Turn From Sin

Acts 3:19 · Lk 24:47

Remission

Debt Cancelled

Heb 9:22

Reconciliation

Relationship Restored

2 Cor 5:18–19 · Rom 5:10–11

We affirm: we turn, the debt is cancelled, and we are restored to God — through Christ alone.

The Great Commission

Our Mission Orders

Matthew 28:18–20

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
