When
read under the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, the Bible is our true rule and
guide for faith and practice.
"Although
the law given from God by Moses
concerning ceremonies and rites
does not bind Christians. . . no
Christian whatsoever is free from
the obedience of the commandments
which are called moral."

What
do United Methodists
believe?
This
is the seventh in a series of brief
articles summarizing the doctrinal
beliefs of the United Methodist
Church.
WHAT
DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT THE
BIBLE?
We believe the Bible is inspired by God
and contains all things necessary for
salvation.
Article
V, The Articles of Religion, The
United Methodist Book of
Discipline:
"The
Holy Scripture contains all
things necessary to salvation; so
that whatsoever is not read
therein, nor may be proved
thereby, is not to be required of
any person that it should be
believed as an article of faith,
or be thought requisite or
necessary to salvation..."
Article
VI, The Articles of Religion, The
United Methodist Book of
Discipline:"The
Old Testament is not contrary to
the New; for both in the Old and
New Testament everlasting life is
offered to mankind by
Christ....
Article
IV, The Confession of Faith, The
United Methodist Book of
Discipline:"We
believe the Holy Bible, Old and
New Testaments, reveals the Word
of God so far as it is necessary
for our salvation. It is to be
received through the Holy Spirit
as the true rule and guide for
faith and practice."
