What We Believe
Victory Church is a family of believers bonded together by the following core beliefs:

 

God

We believe that there is one living and true God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

Genesis 1:1, 26-27; 3:22; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 14:6-12; II Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2; and I John 5:7

Jesus

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven. 


Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 53:1-12; Matthew 1: 20-23; Luke 2:4-14, 21; John 1:1-5; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; I Corinthians 15:3-4; and Hebrews 4:14-15, 9:28, 10:10,12,14,19

 

Christ's Return

We believe that Jesus Christ will literally return to earth. 


Matthew 16:27; I Timothy 6:14-15; II Timothy 4:1; and Titus 2:13

Holy Spirit 

We believe that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation and is the comforter and guide who lives in every believer. Through illumination, He enables people to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts us of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.


John 14:25-26, 15:26, 16:7-15; Romans 8:14-16; I Corinthians 2:12; and II Corinthians 3:17

Bible

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.


Psalm 119:9, 11, 105, 160; Isaiah 55:11; and II Timothy 3:16-17

Man

We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God’s creation. Through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind as a whole “fell” or became sinners in need of salvation. 


Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-19; Romans 3:23; and I Corinthians 15:21-33

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift received through repentance (having a change in mind or the way one thinks about sin) toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.


John 3:16; Acts 16:31, 17:30; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; and II Peter 3:9

Assurance

We believe that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. 


I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Corinthians 1:22; and Ephesians 1:13, 4:30

Eternity

We believe that those persons who die in their sins without Christ spend eternity in Hell, and those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Jesus Christ spend eternity in Heaven. 


II Corinthians 5:6-8; II Thessalonians 1:6-9; Revelation 19;5-9; and Revelation 20:11-15

Baptism

Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony to his faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Being a church ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord’s Supper.


Matthew 3:13-17; Colossians 2:12; and Titus 3:5

Church

We believe that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head. It is the Body of Christ, which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.


Romans 16:5; I Corinthians 16:19; and Ephesians 5:23-27, 32

Prayer

We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. 


Matthew 6:9-13; Romans 8:16; II Thessalonians 5:17; and Hebrews 10:19-20

Government

We believe in the separation of church and state, but not in separation of God and government. Christians are salt and light in society. 


Psalm 62:11; Proverbs 21:1; John 19:11; and Hebrews 13:7, 17
