Where do the concepts of inspiration of the Bible and inerrancy of the Bible come from. And do they apply to both OT and NT?

Here are Barton Stones views on using only one loaf in the lords supper . In the Lord's supper there should be but one loaf, to represent the Lord's body that suffered on the Cross--Two or more loaves destroy the very idea of the ordinance, as not representing the one body of Christ suffering and dy...

I never saw a CoC minister who was not married. My guess is even being divorced for adultery would make you ineligible. I don't remember any whose wife died. I did hear of some CoC ministers who had affairs, for one ended ittheir preaching career, another survived it but was fired at the church it h...
