CARIDAD UNIDA CHRISTIAN CHURCH

1. THE HOLY SCRIPTURE

We believe that the Holy Scriptures (composed of all 66 books in the Old and New Testaments) is God’s written revelation to man and thus the 66 books of the Bible given to us by the Holy Spirit constitute the plenary (inspired equally in all partsWord of God (1 Corinthians 2:7-14; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We believe that the Holy Scriptures is an objective, propositional revelation (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 2:13), verbally inspired in every word (2 Timothy 3:16), absolutely inerrant in the original documents, infallible, and God-breathed.

We believe the Scriptures to be the supreme and sole authority and the only infallible rule in all matters of faith and conduct (Isaiah 8:20; Jeremiah 23:28,29) and that they contain the will of God completely and that everything one must believe to be saved is sufficiently taught in them(2 Timothy 3:14-17).

We believe that the Scriptures are without error or fault in all the teaching whether that has to do with doctrine, history, future events, science, geology, geography or other disciplines of knowledge (Psalm 19:7-11)

We believe that, whereas there may be several applications of any given passage of Scripture, there is but one true interpretation. The meaning of Scripture is to be found as one diligently applies the literal grammatical-historical method of interpretation under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit (John 7:17; 16:12-15; 1 Corinthians 2:7-15; 1 John 2:20).

We also believe that the individual is responsible directly to God for his beliefs, and that God will hold him responsible only to believe what is taught in Scripture.
