Victory Church Statements of Fundamental Truth and Doctrine.

1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the revealed will of God.
(II Tim. 3:15-17; I Pe. 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12)

2. There is one true God, revealed to man as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matt. 28:19; I Jn 5:7)

3. The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ is clearly taught in the Scriptures. He was God
manifest in the flesh. (Isa. 9:6; John 1:1,14; I Tim. 3:16)

4. Man was created in God’s image. By voluntary transgression he fell and his only hope of
redemption is in Jesus Christ, the son of God. (Gen. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Rom. 5:12-21)

5. Man’s redemption is made possible only by faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. This salvation comes by believing in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with your mouth Jesus as Lord. It is predestined only in the sense that God, through his omniscience, foreknew those who would choose him. It is secure in the eternal love of God from which we cannot be separated. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. (John 3:16, Rom. 3:24, 8:29-35, 10:9-10; Eph. 1:3, 2:8, 4:30)

6. Baptism in water is a declaration to the world that a believer has died with Christ and
has been raised with him to walk in newness of life.
(Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Rom. 6:4)

7. The celebration of the Lord’s supper by eating of bread and drinking of the cup is a
remembrance of Jesus. (I Cor 11:24)

8. All believers are entitled to, should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to the command of Jesus Christ. With this comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowing of gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8, 2:38-39, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 15:7-9; I Cor. 12:1-31)

9. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 1:8, 2:4, 10:44-46, 19:2,6)

10. The church is the Body of Christ and each member is an integral part.
(Eph. 1:22, 2:19-22; Heb. 12:23)

11. God has made total provision for man.
a. Spiritual (John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Rom 10:9-10
b. Mental ( II Tim. 1:7; Rom. 12:2; Isa. 26:3)
c. Physical (Isa. 53:4-5, Matt. 8:17; I Pet. 2:24)

13. Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. (Rev. 19:20, 20:10-15)
