Dr. Jack Schaap Speaks on Inspiration and the King James Bible

I want to declare what I believe concerning the Word of God. I would prefer to be my own spokesman and to speak for myself and to not have others casually or carelessly presume to speak on my behalf.

I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Scriptures, meaning that every word was chosen by the Holy Ghost, every word the Holy Ghost chose is in the Scriptures, and not one word is omitted. The Bible is complete and accurate.

I believe the King James Version of the Bible is the divinely preserved translation of the inspired Word of God for English-speaking peoples.

– Dr. Jack Schaap, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana
