 1.  Of the Scriptures

A.    Inspiration:  We believe that the Holy Bible (the collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation) is supernaturally inspired (literally, “breathed by God”).¹  It was written by men of God who lived in past ages, who were moved by the Holy Spirit in their work² in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally and verbally free from error.³

 REFERENCES:
1. Acts 1:16, 2 Tim 3:16-17.
2. Acts 28:25, 2 Pet 1:19-21.
3. Psa 19:7-11, Mt 5:18. 

B.    Authority:  We believe the Bible is the true Word of God without corruption or error.  It is and shall remain until the end of the age, the only complete and final revelation of the will of God to man.¹  The Bible stands as the true center of Christian union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.²  The Bible is, and always will be, the ultimate authority for Christians and the church.  There are no additional revelations from God outside of the closed collection of books called the Bible.³

 2.  Of the True God

A.    The Nature of God:  We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God¹ and that He is an infinite, intelligent Spirit.²  He is the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth.³  He is inexpressibly glorious in holiness and worthy of all possible honor, confidence and love.⁴
