Our Beliefs

The Bible

We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible. The verbal inspiration of the Bible is the foundation upon which all other doctrines stand. It is without error and is God’s total and complete revelation to man. The Bible is the final authority of all matters concerning the truths of God. (II Timothy 3:15-17, II Peter 1:20-21, Romans 15:4, Matthew 4:4, Matthew 24:35) Victory Baptist Churchl uses the King James Bible.

Jesus' Birth

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus which has been revealed to us in prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 and shown to us in fulfillment in Matthew 1:23 and Luke 1:26-38.

Jesus' Death

We believe in the vicarious sufferings and substitutionary death of Jesus. We believe that Jesus Christ bore the sins of the whole world, past, present and future. (Isaiah 53;6, I Peter 2:24, I Corinthians 15:3, II Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:7, I John 2:22, Hebrews 2:9)

Jesus' Resurrection

We believe in the victorious and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe the resurrection distinguishes Christianity from all religions of the world. (John 11:25,I Corinthians 15:4-19)

Second Coming of Christ

We believe in the visible and premillennial second coming of Christ. We believe this event will take place after the rapture of the Church, at the end of the Great Tribulation period. (Acts 1:10-11, Revelation 19:11-16, Revelation 22:20)

Resurrection of the Saved and Lost

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost. Christians are saved unto life eternal in Heaven, while the lost are unto eternal damnation. (John 3:36, John 5:28-29, Revelation 20:11-15)

We believe in one God, existing in three persons, known as the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace and can only be received by believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work that was done on the cross. (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, John 3:16, John 5:24, Acts 16;30-31, Romans 10:9-13)

Creation

We believe the biblical story of creation as revealed in Genesis chapters one and two. We believe that creation was complete in six literal days and that Adam and Eve were historical figures representing the beginning of mankind. We reject evolution and any theory that contradicts the Word of God.

Marriage

We believe in God’s design for marriage, between a man and a woman only, as revealed in Genesis 2:23-25. We believe that any sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin as explained in the Word of God. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. (Leviticus 18:1-30, Romans 1:26-29, I Corinthians 5:1, 6:9, I Thessalonians 4:1-8, Hebrews 13:4)
