John Dickinson (1732-1808) - What he believed

John Dickinson was a lawyer, militia officer during the American Revolution, Continental Congressman from Pennsylvania and Delaware, delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, President of Delaware and President of Pennsylvania.

So what did he write?

"The Holy Scriptures are able to make us wise unto Salvation, through Faith which is in Jesus Christ."

"All Scripture given by inspiration of God is profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction in Righteousness that the Man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good Works."

"The Scriptures give a full and ample testimony to all the principle Doctrines of the Christian Faith; and therefore no Divine or inward Communication at this Day, however necessary, do or can contradict that testimony."
