The Agreement Principle - that principle under which the truthfullness and the faithfullnes of God becomes the guarantee that He will not set forth any passage in His Word which contradicts any other passage The Gap Principle - that principle of divine revelation whereby God in the Jewish Scripture ignores certain periods of time, leaping over centuries without comment - understanding that there may be time gaps within a passage The Double Reference Principle - that peculiarity in the writings of the Holy Spirit, by which by a passage applying primarily to a person or event near at hand, is used by Him at a later time as applying to the Person of Christ, or the affairs of His Kingdom
