What We Believe

What We Believe

These points, affirmations, and denials are meant to be a brief overview of our beliefs. They are in no way exhaustive of our doctrinal positions. While we are committed to unity and the growth of Bible Quizzing around the globe, there are doctrines which are completely non-negotiable.

As a starting point, we hold to the below.

  1. The inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture
  2. The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
  3. The virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ
  4. The substitutionary, atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross
  5. The reality of miracles and the physical resurrection and personal bodily return of Christ to the earth
  6. That salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone

In addition to the above, we as the staff of Bible Quiz International,

Affirm:

  • The Bible as the ultimate authority
  • The spiritual lostness of the human race
  • The priesthood of every believer
  • Individual soul liberty
  • Separation of church & state
  • The doctrine of the Trinity—One eternal God, existent in three co-equal Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
  • The doctrine of eternal security
  • The obligation of every believer to live holy, God-honoring lives and to witness to the lost
  • The reality of angels
  • The reality of Satan and his demons
  • The reality of heaven and hell as eternal destinations after death

Deny:

  • Baptismal regeneration
  • Modalism
  • Arianism

  • The Apocrypha and other writings outside the 66 book canon claiming to be Scripture (such as the Book of Mormon and the New World Translation).
