..but often add to the gospel beyond what is prescribed in the Bible - this violation can be just as bad (or worse) than missing some of the primary tenets of faith.
Have you ever searched the "text" of the Bible for some of the words you have used. If the Bible is going to be the "standard" then many of the words you are using (that were added later by Greek Philosophers) should be disqualified.
totally depraved
wholly man yet wholly God.
inerrant
Jesus never used these words. The Apostles never did.

Of course Jesus never used the word “God” either since he didn’t speak english, but of course we can interpret his actual words to our own language.
Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
Eph 2:2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience-
Eph 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
(i.e. totally depraved)
Php 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
Php 2:6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
(i.e. wholly man yet wholly God)
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God
(i.e. inerrant)
Jesus never used these words. The Apostles never did. So what if they didn't use these exact words? The concepts are found throughout scripture.
By your own logic, where is the word for Kolob in scripture, or the word, goddesses? or spirit children, etc?
What is your credible source for saying that Greek philosophers added to scripture?
