I was hoping that someone would do this; I did remember that the Confession uses "infallible," but I could not quite remember what else it says, and if it uses (something tantamount to) "inerrant."

I.1. In Scripture that knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation are committed wholly unto writing.
I.2. Holy Scripture is the Word of God written. All the canonical books of the Bible are given by inspiration of God to be the rule of faith and life.
I.4. God is the author of Holy Scripture.
I.5. [I]nfallible truth and divine authority are attributed to the Holy Scriptures.
I.8. The Old and New Testaments were immediately inspired by God and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages and are therefore authentical.
I.10. The supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined…can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture.
