Federal Vision theology

Federal Vision theology is a Christian perspective emphasizing that God's covenant with believers is ongoing and involves communal and corporate aspects. It teaches that salvation is rooted in God's promise (covenant) and that participation in church, sacraments, and a committed life are essential signs of truly belonging to God's people. This view tends to highlight the importance of grace working through faith and works, and it often challenges traditional distinctions between salvation by faith alone and ongoing Christian obedience. While emphasizing God's covenant promises, critics argue it can blur the line between faith and works, leading to debates within Christian theology.
