We further believe that the Bible was given by divine inspiration and is the inerrant Word of God in all matters that it addresses including historical, geographical, and scientific data (II Tim. 3:16-17; II Pet. 1:19-21; I Thess. 2:13); that it is sufficient, harmonious, and authoritative; that it reveals man’s state by nature (Rom. 3:10-12) and presents the only means of his salvation (Acts 4:12); that it constitutes the only perfect rule and final authority in all matters pertaining to Christian faith and practice (Matt. 5:18-19; Acts 17:11; Isa. 8:20); and it sets forth the principles by which man will be judged (Rom. 2:1-3, 16). We believe that the only infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself. Moreover, we believe that the canon of Scripture is closed (Heb. 1:1-2) and that all canonical revelation from God has ceased.
