Statement of Faith #1-The Scriptures Inspired

Official Assembly of God Statement of Faith #1-The Scriptures Inspired-The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

The first statement of faith, and ultimately the most important, since all of our doctrine stems from this one, is that the scriptures, the Holy Bible, is inspired by God. If there is any doubt to the validity of the scriptures than all that we believe is at question.

The Holy Bible, 66 different books as we know it, was written over a period of 1,500+ years and had over 40 different authors. Each of the writers was inspired by God to write what he wrote. The Bible, even though it was written by so many people over a long period of time, verifies itself. The same stories are told by different authors, different prophecies by different authors that later were fulfilled. Creation verified the Bible. There are archeological records proving the bible. A couple of great sites to read more about some of those are Creation Science Evangelism and Answers in Genesis.

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16
