• THE full inspiration of the Holy Scriptures;
  

• Their authority and sufficiency as not only containing; but being in themselves, the Word of God;
  

• The reliability of the New Testament in its testimony to the character and authorship of the Old Testament; and the need of the teaching of the Holy Spirit to a true and spiritual understanding of the whole.

• The sovereignty and ability of God in Creation providence and redemption
