...and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for
every good work. |
Scripture
Reformation Chapel is an assembly of Christians gathered under the truth, authority, and sufficiency of the Bible as the only Word of God.
The 66 books of the Bible are the truth, all the truth men can know on Earth, and nothing but the truth. God the Holy Spirit, who wrote the Bible, convinces those who have been chosen by Christ that the Bible alone is the Word of God.
The Bible is authoritative because it is the only infallible guide for our faith and life. Nothing – church tradition, private revelation, secular philosophy, or personal opinion – is to be added to the Bible at any time.
Scripture is sufficient in its directions for the doctrine, worship, and mission of the church. God repeatedly warns men neither to add to nor to subtract from the Bible.
The only infallible interpreter of Scripture is Scripture itself. When there is any question about the meaning of a verse, the question must be settled by other verses that speak more clearly.
The supreme judge in all controversies is the Holy Spirit speaking in the Bible alone.
