The Scriptures

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God and are without error in the Originals. We also believe that the God who inspired sinful men to write His Words down in the Originals without error, is powerful enough to move upon sinful men to preserve those Words without error in the manner that he intended us to have them.
In other words…We believe in the Providential Preservation of the true Word of God, as well as the Providential Inspiration of the Word of God. And that the purpose of the preservation is to preserve the infallibility of the Inspired Original Text. Furthermore, we believe the Text that God used to preserve the Old Testament Scriptures is the Massoretic Hebrew Text. WE believe that the Text that God used to preserve the New Testament Scriptures is the Greek Received Text, commonly called the Textus Receptus. Furthermore, we believe the Bible that you find both the Massoretic and Textus Receptus Texts translated into English is the 1611 Authorized Version, commonly called the King James Bible. Therefore, the Bible that we use for all matters of Doctrine, Reproof, Correction and Instruction in Righteousness is the King James Bible, God’s Infallible Preserved Word. 2 Tim. 3:16,17, Psalms 12:6,7, 2 Peter 1:21, Psalm 119:89.
We believe that in order to understand the Bible, it must be rightly divided according to 2 Tim. 2:15. We believe that while the entire Bible was written for us, it was not all written to us, nor was it all written about us as members of the Body of Christ. Therefore, we use the Dispensational method of Bible study. That is, we distinguish between things that differ, as well as correlate things that are alike. We believe that while God Himself never changes—He does change His methods in dealing with men in different Ages or Dispensations. And we believe that a failure to Rightly Divide that which is written to and for the Church is the source of much of the confusion in the Church over matters of Doctrine and Practice.
We pay special attention to the Books of Romans through Philemon, believing that these are the books that are written not only for us, but to us and about us as members of the Body of Christ. However, this is not to say that we do not preach and teach out of the rest of the Bible, because we do. But we do not apply doctrine and practice out of the books addressed to Israel under the law unless they agree with the doctrine and practice found in Romans through Philemon written to the Church under Grace.
