Common Questions

In case you were wondering about things that you may see and hear at Victory during our services, we created this section of our website. Paul commended the Berean Church for "examining the Scriptures." In the same way, it is important for all of us to search God's Word to understand how He moves.

"Now these were more noble-minded than those of Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so." Acts 17:11 (NASB)

People Falling Down
2 Chronicles 5:14 states that "The priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God." Being "slain" in the Spirit describes what happens when someone falls to the ground under the power of God. Other scriptural references to this in the Bible follow:
  • John 18:6
  • Rev. 1:17
  • Matt. 28:4

    Singing In the Spirit
    Along with praying in tongues, you can also sing in the Spirit. It is often used to worship and praise God with a new song. Concerning this, 1 Corinthians 14:15 states, "What is the outcome then? I shall pray with the Spirit and I shall pray with the mind also; I shall sing with the Spirit and I shall sing with the mind also." Two other scriptural examples of this in the Bible follow:
  • Ps. 33:3
  • 1 Cor. 14:15
    		•  Back to Top
     
    Lifting Up Hands
    You will often see Christians lifting up hands in church while singing or during a prayer or a prophecy. In Psalm 63:4 David says, "I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name." Other scriptural references to this in the Bible follow:
  • Lam. 2:19
  • Ps. 134:2
  • 1Tim. 2:8

    Praying For The Sick
    Jesus and His disciples used oil to pray for the sick. James 5:14 states, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Other scriptural accounts of this in the Bible follow:
  • Mark 16:18
  • Mark 6:13
    		• Back to Top
     
    Word Of Knowledge
    A Word of Knowledge is given to help someone in need. God will tell a Christian unknown details of a person in need in order to lead that person to a place of deliverance.
    1 Corinthians 12:8 states, "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit." More scriptural references in the Bible follow:
  • John 4:17-18
  • 1 Cor. 2:11-12
    		•  Back to Top
     
    Prophecy
    Concerning prophecy, 1 Corinthians 14:3 states, "one who prophesies speaks to men for edification, exhortation, and consolation." True prophecies from God always line up or agree with what the Bible teaches. More references in the Bible concerning prophecy follow:

    Speaking In Tongues
    Speaking in tongues began when the Holy Spirit filled the waiting disciples in Acts 2:4. "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." Today, Christians speak in tongues when they are "baptized" in the Holy Spirit. Some call it a prayer language. Other scriptural references of this in the Bible follow:
  • Acts 10:46
  • 1 Tim. 2:8
  • Acts 10:46
  • 1 Cor. 14:2
  • 1 Cor. 14:4-5

  • 1 Cor. 14:22

    Water Baptism
    The word baptism means "immersion." Water baptism is an outward sign of an inward working. It is displaying our immersion into Christ. Water baptism is your opportunity to “publicly” identify with the “public” redemption Jesus purchased for you. Some Bible references for water baptism follow:
  • Hebrews 6:1-2
  • Acts 8:12
  • Acts 8:35-40
