For those who would like to join us to serve God as a Volunteer in supporting God’s various Ministries at Vital Christ, or those who would like to be confirmed for Baptism at Vital Christ Church, we would require the individual to be in complete agreeance on the most important topic of our Salvation. We believe there are too many false prophets these days. Jesus himself has said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:15 NIV And we believe there are too many so-called Christians who has Accepted, Believed Jesus as their Only Savior & Only Lord and yet after Baptism & Confirmation, they never learn to Follow Christ in their daily lives and continue to sin and lead a life of their own whose lives don’t have much to do with God except on Sundays:
1. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
2. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NIV “Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:4 ESV “No one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” John 3:5 NIV
3. “For by Grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
4. “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 ESV
5. “Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy.” Ephesians 4:22-23 NLT
6. Acts 4:12 KJV “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
7. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” John 15:1-2 NIV
8. “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26-27 ESV
9. “Therefore I tell you that the Kingdom of God (Heaven) will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruits.” Matthew 21:43 NIV
10. “….No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.” 1 John 3:6 NIV

14. “…Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!‘” Matthew 7:22-23 NIV
15. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.” Matthew 7:21 NIV
16. “Therefore, my dear friends,…continue to work out your Salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12 NIV
17. “I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (So “bearing fruits” are the works of Jesus Christ and they are NOT results of our own works). If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” John 15:5-6, 8 NIV
