Denver Seminary Doctrinal Statement Denver Seminary is committed to the great truths and abiding fundamentals of the Christian faith as evidenced by its confessional platform: The Word of God We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as the revelation of God's will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in all matters to which they speak. The Trinity We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.
