VICTORY BIBLE COLLEGE, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Statement of Faith
We believe that the Bible is divinely inspired by God. It is faultless and is the sole and final authority for all matters of our lives (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 1:21)
We believe in the eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as one God existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe that man by nature is sinful and unholy. He is unable to attain God’s righteousness apart from regeneration through the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:18–10)
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of all men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He is totally God and yet, totally man (Luke 1:26–35, John 1:14–18, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 7).
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).
We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven and that He is coming again a second time for His Church (John 14:2–3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18, Hebrews 9:28).
We believe in the salivation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the work of the Cross (Ephesians 2:8–9, Hebrews 9:12, 22).
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a real experience at or after salvation. Believers can then speak in tongues as the Spirit gives them the utterance (Acts 2:1–4, 8:14–17, 10:44–46).
We believe in the operation of the gifts and ministries of the Spirit that are listed in 1 Corinthians 12–14 and Ephesians 4.
We believe that miraculous physical healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus is still for us today (Mark 16:17, Acts 4:30, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 12:9, James 5:14).
We believe in eternal life for believers, (John 3:16, 5:24) and eternal punishment for unbelievers (Mark 9:43–48, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, Revelation 20:10–15).
We believe that there is one true Church that is made up of genuine believers with Jesus as the head. However, this one Church is composed of many local Churches in different localities (Matthew 16:18, Acts 9:31, Ephesians 5:23).
