Free Will Baptists affirm the inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture. The Treatise of the Faith affirms that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and the rule of faith and practice for the church. Inerrancy is understood as the claim that Scripture contains no errors in the original manuscripts in anything it affirms — whether in matters of faith, history, or other domains.

This commitment to biblical inerrancy is foundational to Free Will Baptist theology and practice. The Bible is not merely a human document containing divine truth mixed with human error; rather, it is the Word of God, fully inspired and entirely reliable. This conviction motivates careful study of Scripture, respect for biblical authority, and resistance to historical-critical approaches that question the reliability of the biblical text.

The Free Will Baptist emphasis on individual Bible reading and study reflects confidence in Scripture's clarity and reliability. Believers are encouraged to read the Bible for themselves and to base their faith and practice on its testimony. While scholarly tools and commentaries are valued aids to understanding, the primary reliance is on Scripture itself as the infallible guide to Christian life and doctrine.
