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, Baptists 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.
