Those last two paragraphs, specifically where you summarize your concerns for the effects of “new inspiration”, will keep me awake thinking for the next few nights. Indeed! Thank you? 😉
Interesting article. Frankly, I never considered that the CotN stood where you say on the subject. Though a member since I was a teen, I always took Article IV's wording "inerrantly revealing the will of God" to mean the Bible was inerrantly written (in the sense of your first group). I just felt that my personal beliefs were slightly different. I see that portion of the Articles of Faith in a different light now. Thank you.
You are welcome, Herb. With articles like this, we are trying to better illuminate what we believe in general as Wesleyan-Holiness people and specifically as Nazarenes.
