The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible, as originally written, was
verbally inspired and the product of the Spirit-filled men and has
been divinely preserved to date in the Authorized Version of 1611,
and, therefore, is the truth without any admixture of error for its
matter. We believe the Bible to be the true center of Christian
union and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds,
and opinions shall be tried. We believe the Bible to have only one
interpretation, which may be revealed to any believer by the Holy
Spirit.
- By "The Holy Bible" we mean that collection of sixty-six
books, from Genesis to Revelation, which as written and
preserved in the Authorized Version of 1611, does not only
contain and convey the Word of God, but IS the Ward 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 and verbally inspired and preserved, free from
error, as no other writings have ever been or ever will be. II
Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:19-21; John 17:17; Psalm 12:6,7.
- Whereas there are a number of other versions of the Bible in
circulation, all of which are not reliable due to their omission
of word and their being translated from corrupt manuscripts, we
consider it, therefore, a necessity and privilege to use only
the King James Version, AV 1611 in our pulpit and in our
classrooms. Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:5,6; Revelation 22:18
19.
