If you have family members involved with Barrie Victory Centre, you need to be very concerned. As a lay person, the following three heresies jumped off the page while reading their Statement of Faith on their website.
Heresy #1 ... Jesus Christ died for sickness and the healing of all mankind. Read "The Healing Promise" by Richard Mayhue.
Heresy #2 ... We are commanded to earnestly seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit or speaking in other tongues. Read John McArthur's book, "Charismatic Chaos".
Heresy #3 ... Total prosperity is available to every believer. This is man-made theology with no basis in Scripture and totally self-serving to the church leadership.
This church is knowingly leading many sincere Christian people away from truth. Both books mentioned above are available through Chapters.
Creeping Apostacy - How False Teachers Sneak In!
You can't necessarily tell a false teacher by their appearance. False religious leaders, by definition, are "religious". Looking saintly is part of the job description. Jesus referred to them as "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15). In other words, their religion is an effort at clever camouflage. Jesus said, "most false teachers are experts at feigned piety." Their masquerade can be quite convincing. They maintain a carefully polished veneer of charm and innocence -- and at least the appearance of some kind of "spirituality". They usually come with permanent smiles, gentle words, likable personalities and vocabularies full of Biblical and Spiritual words (from John MacArthur's book, "The Truth War") so TRUE CHRISTIANS BEWARE!!!
