The Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible was 1written by men controlled by the Holy Spirit;2 that it has truth without any admixture of error for its matter; and3 therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the age 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 human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried.
- By "The Holy Bible," we mean that collection of sixty-six books, from Genesis to Revelation, which, as originally written, does not merely contain and convey the word of God, but is the very Word of God.
- By "Inspiration" we mean that the books of the Bible were written by Holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, in such a definite way that their writings were supernaturally inspired and free from error; as no other writings have ever been or ever will be inspired.
