Christian Churches affirm that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God. Scripture contains no errors in its original autographs in matters of doctrine, history, or science. The Bible is divinely inspired in all parts (plenary inspiration) and is entirely trustworthy as the revelation of God to humanity. This high view of Scripture reflects the Restoration Movement's foundational commitment to biblical authority.

The inerrancy of Scripture means that where Scripture speaks, it speaks the truth. Apparent contradictions are due to human misunderstanding, incomplete interpretation, or textual transmission issues, not to biblical error. The Restoration principle of allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture aids in resolving difficulties and demonstrating the consistency of the biblical message.

Biblical infallibility and inerrancy provide the foundation for the restorationist slogan 'no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible.' If Scripture is the infallible Word of God, then human creeds, traditions, and ecclesiastical pronouncements must be tested against Scripture. This framework allows individual congregations to pursue truth directly from the biblical text without denominational mediation or magisterial interpretation.
