Yes, only alleged. I say this because there are simply too many variant manuscripts to determine which one, if there is one, was actually written by any given author. For example, do you believe that +Paul wrote Hebrews? If so, why? What about Matthew? Did +Matthew write it? And which version is correct? I suppose it's a safe bet that +John wrote his gospel, but which version? I honestly don't care whether or not the various books of the NT were really written by the authors to whom the works are attributed. I also don't loose any sleep over whether or not the Johannine Comma, for example, is original or spurious. I am not a bible worshiper. Treating the bible like a Mohammedan treats the koran is heresy. My Faith comes from the Holy Spirit as a free gift through The Church.

Oremus. Concede nos famulos tuos, quaesumus, Domine Deus, perpetua mentis et corporis sanitate gaudere, et gloriosae beatae Mariae semper Virginis intercessione, a praesenti liberari tristitia, et aeterna perfrui laetitia. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. R. Amen.
