HOLY BIBLE
We teach that the Bible is God's written revelation to man, and that the 66 books of the Bible, given to us by the Holy Spirit, constitute the full (all-inspired) Word of God (1 Cor. 2: 7-14; 2 Peter 1: 20-21).
We teach that the Word of God is an objective revelation in the form of statements (1 Thess. 2:13; 1 Cor. 2:13), inspired in every word (2 Tim. 3:16), absolutely flawless in original documents, infallible, inspired by God. We teach a literal, grammatical / historical interpretation of the Scriptures that supports the belief that the opening chapters of Genesis represent the creation of the world in six literal days (Gen. 1:31; Ex. 31:17).
We teach that the Bible is the only infallible rule of faith and practice (Matthew 5:18; 24:35; John 10:35; 16: 12-13; 17:17; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3: 15-17; Hebrews 4 : 12; 2 Peter 1: 20-21).
We teach that God has spoken in His written Word through a process of double authorship. The Holy Spirit so supervised the human authors,
that through their individual personalities and different writing styles they composed and wrote God's Word for mankind (2 Peter 1: 20-21) without error, either in whole or in parts (Matthew 5:18; 2 Tim 3:16).
We teach that while a given scripture may have several uses, there is only one true interpretation. The meaning of the Scriptures is discovered by carefully applying the literal grammatical-historical method of interpretation under the illuminating influence of the Holy Spirit (John 7:17; 16: 12-15; 1 Corinthians 2: 7-15; 1 John 2:20). It is the duty of believers to carefully establish the true intent and meaning of Scripture, with proper application binding upon all generations, though the truth of Scripture is the judge of man. Man is never a judge of Scripture Saints.
