Bíblia
A Bíblia é a Palavra de Deus — viva, eficaz e mais cortante que espada de dois gumes. Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus e útil para ensinar, repreender, corrigir e instruir em justiça.
Inspiração divina
Toda Escritura é inspirada por Deus. Homens santos falaram da parte de Deus movidos pelo Espírito Santo.

Revelação e fidelidade

Viver pela Palavra
Não só de pão vive o homem. Nada acrescentes nem diminuas. A Palavra é alimento, guia e espada do cristão.
