The Vineyard Churches acknowledge the textual problems with Mark 16:9-20 (absent from earliest manuscripts) but affirm its theological content. The passage's promise that believers will perform miracles, heal the sick, and cast out demons reflects the Vineyard's core conviction that the power of the Holy Spirit continues to manifest in signs and wonders through the contemporary Church.

Whether or not Mark himself wrote these final verses, the Vineyard reads them as scriptural affirmation of the Church's continuing mission and gifting. The 'signs and wonders' mentioned in Mark 16:17-18 parallel the narrative of Jesus' ministry in the Gospels and the apostolic signs in Acts. The Vineyard understands itself as continuing this same Spirit-empowered ministry.

The Vineyard's approach balances textual-critical awareness with theological affirmation. The passage is included in most Bible translations and expresses biblical truth, so it is received and taught even as the scholarly question of authorship and originality is acknowledged.
