Understanding Biblical Distinctives
Beyond the basics of what we believe as Christians (as found in our Doctrine), we
adhere to specific Biblical Distinctives which relate to vital issues present in Christianity
today. We hold to the following, excerpted from Pastor Duane Brown's work "Baptist
Distinctives", not primarily on the basis of them being Baptistic, but more importantly,
because they are Biblical.

Biblical Authority
The Bible is the final authority in all matters of belief and practice because the Bible is
inspired by God and bears the absolute authority of God Himself. Whatever the Bible
affirms, we accept as true. No human opinion or decree of any church group can
override the Bible. Even creeds and confessions of faith, which attempt to articulate the
theology of Scripture, do not carry Scripture’s inherent authority.
