Scripturalists and non-Scripturalists agree that the revelation of the Spirit is necessary to know God savingly. Non-scripturalists believe that certain things can be ascertained empirically. Scripturalists also believe that only the knowledge given in Scripture is epistemically valid. That is, anything except the propositions in the bible and propositions deduced therefrom is merely belief/opinion.
