- I Believe the Bible is true.
- I believe that the Bible is given by inspiration of God. In this I mean that the Holy Spirit guided the men who wrote the Bible in what to write through their own personalities.
- I believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the Bible—historical, poetical, doctrinal, and prophetical—as appeared in the original writings.
- I believe that the whole Bible in the originals is therefore without error.
- I believe that the Bible centers around the Lord Jesus Christ in His person and work in His first and second coming. This includes the Old Testament as well as the point of the Bible is to lead to Christ.
- I believe that the Bible was written for practical application.
- I believe the Bible is verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings.
- I believe the Bible is the final authority of faith and life.
