The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. –Psalm 111:10

Statement of faith

Primary statement

  1. The Bible, both the Old (39 books) and New (27 books) Testament, is given by inspiration of God, and is inerrant in its original writings. 2 Timothy 3:16,17.
  2. There is One God, eternally existing in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29; Matthew 28:19.
  3. Jesus Christ is God the Son, begotten by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and born both Man and God. Luke 1:26-38; John 10:30; Colossians 2:9.
  4. God created the heavens and the earth, and God created Man in His own image. Genesis 1:1-27.
  5. All men (apart from Jesus Christ) have sinned, and fallen short of God's standard, and that the punishment for sin is death. Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23.
  6. Jesus Christ died for our sins when He was crucified on Calvary. 1 Corinthians 15:3.
  7. Jesus Christ is raised from the dead; He is ascended into Heaven; and He is now seated at the right hand of God, and is Lord of all. 1 Corinthians 15:4; Ephesians 1:20; Hebrews 1:3.
  8. We are saved by faith in Christ Jesus, unto eternal life, apart from works or religious observances. John 3:16, Romans 3:21-28; Romans 10:9,10.
  9. The Church is composed of all who are saved by faith in Christ, and is made one through the working of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:4-31.
  10. We await the personal and soon coming of the Lord Jesus, and the resurrection of the dead, of the just unto life and the unjust unto condemnation. Acts 1:10,11; John 5:24–29 and John 14:1-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Agreement to be an editor

Editors of Wikible must believe the primary statement of faith as followers of Jesus Christ. We here at Wikible do not hold to the Neutral Point of View as other wikis are abiding by. This first statement is a requirement to be an editor of Wikible.

Secondary statement

  • Eschatology: Dispensational Premillennialism

Overall content guideline

Wikible does not exist to include every point of view that exists on biblical topics. We will instead review each viewpoint on a case by case scenario, and include the most logical ones. For example, we won't be including the Roman Catholic view of Mary or their view on Baptism, since they are simply not scriptural.

It is assumed on Wikible that if you make any edits that your content also adheres to the secondary statement of faith. You do not have to hold exactly to those beliefs to be an editor here, but the content does need to be supportive of the secondary statement.

There is no need to sign anything, or check a box, but any edits that are made will be reviewed by the administrators for agreement with the statement of faith. Also any content disputes will also be reviewed by the Wikible panel.
