Doctrine - The Authority and Inerrancy of Scripture

This paper was commissioned by the elders at GodFirst in order to articulate our full submission to the authority of the Bible. We recognise that any future positional papers will rely significantly on the scriptures and our interpretation of it. Not everyone will start with or submit to the authority of scripture, however, here at GodFirst, the elders are committed to the bible, and it will be our starting point. We contend that without a strong biblical foundation, it becomes increasingly challenging to have fruitful conversations.

We, the elders at GodFirst, approach the bible with humility, asking that the Holy Spirit speak through it, conforming our wills and worldviews to it. We grant absolute primacy to the biblical revelation, assured that it will guide us into all truth.
