What is a 'Bible-Only Christian'? Is it someone who ONLY adheres to the Bible? What about Luther and others? What about the various creeds, those are not a biblical source, so would anyone who adhered to those be considered a 'Bible-Only' Christian? Note: I do not want scriptures thrown at me, I want your opinion of what a 'Bible-Only' Christian is. I will ignore any long-winded posts of multiple scriptures without a point. Thanks everyone! (Sorry if that sounded rude, but I'm trying to get a personal feel for this.) |

As far as I know, it's a Christian that percieves themselves as taking a sola scriptura view.

A "Bible only" Christian is a Christian whose entire set of beliefs can be found in the Bible, except when they're found elsewhere, like the Westminster Confession of Faith or the Nicene Creed. They're the ones who insist that everything God wants us to know is in the Bible. In other words, it's inerrant and complete. Oddly enough, though, they can't tell you were the Bible claims to be inerrant and complete. Multiple request for that same answer will get you no where, by the way. If a Bible only Christian tells you that the Bible is "self-authenticating," what he really means in that anything it says should be interpreted by all parties in exactly the same way. Those who may interpret it differently from the "Bible only" Christian are wrong.

We were talking about this in class the other day oddly enough. If the Bible contains all truth then why do our cars work? The Bible isn't a good reference book for automechanics.

i'm pretty much agreeing with the two above me here.
bible-only christians ONLY use the Bible. ussually they are non-denominational sects, but there are denominational churches that are Bible-only too. They say everything God wants us to know about our salvation is in the Bible, that God will not reveal anything to us about him, heaven, salvation, anything to do with religion outside of what he has already put down in the Bible. It's usually Bible-thumpers (Bible-only) who have problems with Anglicans, Catholics, CofE, etc. because we don't strictly adhere to the Bible for God related knowledge.
