We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men supernaturally and verbally inspired (II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:19-21; II Samuel 23:2) that being free from error, its total content is infallible truth (John 10:35; 17:7) and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the age (Matt. 5:18), the only complete and final revelation of the will of God to man, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all church affairs, human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried.

The Holy Bible – By this we mean that collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation, which, as originally written, does not only contain and convey the Word of God, but is the very Word of God. |

Inspiration – By this we mean that the books of the Bible were written by holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (II Peter 1:19-21) in such a definite way that their writings are free from error as no other writings have been or ever will be. |
