Infallibility Distinguished
Bibliology · 6 verses
While inerrancy addresses the truthfulness of Scripture's assertions, infallibility emphasizes its unfailing power to accomplish God's purposes and guide believers to salvation. Scripture is incapable of leading astray or failing in its divinely appointed mission to reveal Christ and transform souls. This infallibility guarantees that Scripture serves as a completely reliable rule for faith and practice.
