Verbal, Plenary Inspiration of Scripture

 

We believe that the complete written revelation of God is the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible; the center of true Christian unity; that those books were God-breathed through holy men of old, resulting in their verbal and plenary inspiration in the original manuscripts; that these books are therefore infallible and inerrant; and that God has preserved His Word without error through the centuries as the supreme, literal and authoritative standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be judged. Through the faithful, careful translations of godly linguists, men of all nations and languages may have access to God’s authentic Word. (Psalm 119:160;  II Timothy 3:16,17; II Peter 1:19-21)
