The Unity of the Spirit holds to the fundamental principle that Christian beliefs and practices should be determined solely by the original intent and meaning of the Scriptures themselves; that is, by the meaning of both the Old and New Testaments with the New Testament setting forth the fulfillment of Old Testament themes and promises. As such, all of our articles base themselves, to the best of our ability, on the original intent and meaning of the Bible itself and not on post-biblical traditions, creeds, or philosophical speculations.Â
