 The SBCV denies that other books are inspired by God in the same way as the Bible.The SBCV is committed to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 with the clarification of the Bible being "the inerrant word of God" instead of merely "the verbally inspired Word of God ... sufficient as our only infallible rule of faith and practice" as described above.The doctrinal position of the SBCV is not binding upon any local church; however, the convention recognized its right and responsibility to determine its identity, including doctrinal parameters, and to include within its affiliation those individual affiliates and churches who can freely agree with it, and to exclude those individuals or churches who do not.
