What must all the tenets of our faith be drawn from?

The tenets of faith within the Church of God must be drawn from Scripture because it serves as the authoritative source for doctrine and belief. The Bible is viewed as the divinely inspired Word of God, providing guidance on matters of faith and practice. All teachings and doctrines in the Christian faith are expected to align with biblical principles and teachings.

Using Scripture as the foundation ensures that the beliefs held by members are not merely the result of tradition, philosophy, or human experience, which can be subjective and vary greatly between cultures and individuals. By grounding faith in Scripture, the Church of God upholds a consistent and unified understanding of Christian beliefs that is intended to be applicable across different contexts and generations. This reliance on Scripture promotes clarity and accountability in the teachings of the church and helps to safeguard the integrity of the faith as it is passed down through the ages.
