Doctrinal Statement

Concerning the Scriptures

We believe that the Bible, consisting of a total of sixty-six books in the Old and New Testaments, is without error in the original manuscripts (1).  The author of the Bible was God the Holy Spirit (2) who guided the human authors (3) so that the writings they produced were verbally and plenarily inspired (4). We believe that the Bible is the sole authority for faith and practice (5).

Some places where taught: (1) Prov. 30:5-6; John 17:17; Rev. 22:18-19. (2) II Pet. 1:19-21; Heb. 1:1-2; II Pet. 3:15-16. (3) II Sam. 23:2; Acts 1:16; I Cor. 2:13-14. (4) Matt. 5:18; John 10:35; Gal. 3:16; II Tim. 3:16. (5) Acts 17:11; I Cor. 10:6-12; Eph.6:17; II Tim. 3:15-16; I John 4:1.

Educational Philosophy

The seminary is committed to the direct method of presenting divine truth from the Bible which is viewed as an authoritative and exclusive revelation, and rejects relativism which denies the complete authority of Scriptural revelation. It believes that true scholarship is that which submits to the authority of Scripture and rejects the exaltation of human intellect above the written Word of God.
