We believe in the verbal and plenary (complete) inspiration of the Bible, that the Bible is the infallible and inerrant Word of God (the Bible is without error of any kind in the original autographs), and the exclusive and sufficient guide for salvation, doctrine (what the Bible teaches on any subject), and the spiritual life of the believer. Men under the direct supervision and supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote the Holy Bible. By this we mean that God superintended human authors so that, using their own personalities, they composed and recorded His revelation without any mixture of error. The canon of Scripture is complete and closed. It consists of the historically accepted thirty-nine Old Testament books and twenty-seven New Testament books and no other book or books either ancient or modern can now or ever be inspired Scripture. We believe that the Bible alone is the source of absolute truth and the Bible defines reality. There is a progression of the revealed truth of God, such as the contrast between the earlier Mosaic Law and the present age of grace so that later revelation in Scripture expands and replaces earlier as the standard of faith and practice without contradicting it.
