Transparency & Disclosures

Artificial Intelligence — Use & Disclosure

The following discloses where AI tools have and have not been used in my professional work.

1728 — Christian Fitness Music Franchise. The music production in the 1728 franchise is generated with AI assistance (Suno AI), operating under a transparent human-authored, AI-assisted model. Every lyric, every theological decision, every style choice, every creative direction in 1728 is written and directed by me. The AI generates audio from those human-authored specifications. Full ethical disclosure for 1728 is maintained at 1728.fitness/ai-ethics.html.

Website design and development. AI-assisted development tools were used in the design, coding, and development of brunomiranda.net. The content — the writing, the theological positions, the biographical information, the professional descriptions — is entirely human-authored and personally reviewed by me for accuracy before publication.

Books, articles, and theological writing. All published books, working manuscripts, and articles attributed to Bruno Miranda are entirely human-authored original scholarship. No AI tools have been used to generate theological arguments, exegetical analysis, or doctrinal positions in any of my published or forthcoming written work. This includes The Hermeneutics of Praise and Worship and The Gospel of Mammon, both forthcoming from Lumen Sound Press.

Pre-2026 music catalog. All recordings released under Bruno Miranda, Bruno Miranda Trio, Bruno Miranda & José Valentino, and Bruno Miranda & Thiago Pinheiro prior to 2026 are entirely human-produced, performed, composed, and engineered. No AI tools were involved in any stage of those recordings.

Teaching and academic work. All course content, lectures, and academic materials I deliver at Liberty University are entirely human-authored original work.

Institutional Independence

I hold formal associations with several institutions. None of them govern my public positions, writing, music, or theological statements.

• Liberty University. I serve as an adjunct faculty member in the School of Music at Liberty University. All theological positions, public statements, written works, and professional activities expressed through brunomiranda.net, lumensound.org, 1728.fitness, and associated social media accounts are my own and do not represent the official positions of Liberty University, its faculty, administration, or any affiliated entity.
• Ron Kenoly Ministries. I served as Music Director for Dr. Ron Kenoly for twenty-one years. The ministry I conducted in that capacity was done under the direct authority and vision of Dr. Kenoly. My public theological positions and written work are independent of Ron Kenoly Ministries and do not represent or speak for that organization.
• First Baptist Church of Mount Dora. I was ordained by First Baptist Church of Mount Dora, Florida, in January 2023. My ordination does not create an ongoing doctrinal or institutional authority relationship. My theological views, public statements, and published work are my own and do not represent this congregation.
• SBC and other denominational bodies. I am not an institutional member of the Southern Baptist Convention or any other denominational body. While my theological convictions are informed by Reformed Baptist tradition, I function as an independent ministerial entity. No denomination or confessional body speaks for me, and I do not speak for any denomination.

Theological Positions & Academic Independence

My theological positions are my own, derived from Scripture under the authority of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, and tested against the historic confessions of the Reformed Baptist tradition. They are not binding on any institution, congregation, or ministry with which I have been associated.

I hold and teach from a continuationist position informed by extensive cross-cultural ministry experience, a Calvinistic soteriology aligned with the theological framework of Wayne Grudem, and a strong commitment to the regulative principle as applied to congregational worship. I affirm biblical marriage as the covenant union of one man and one woman as a sincerely held ministerial conviction rooted in Scripture.

Where my published positions develop, clarify, or revise earlier stated positions, I will note those developments in updated editions, published corrections, or public statements. I am accountable to Scripture first, and to my stated confessional standards second.

Academic credentials. I hold a degree in Music Production & Engineering from Berklee College of Music, a Master of Science in Music Technology from Indiana University, and am completing doctoral studies in Christian Worship at Liberty University. I do not claim credentials I do not hold. All professional descriptions on this site and associated platforms reflect verified academic and professional standing.

Editorial Standards

All articles, essays, and theological content published on brunomiranda.net are written by Bruno Miranda. There is no ghostwriting. No article is published under my name that I have not personally written, reviewed, and approved.

• Scripture citations are drawn from the ESV, NASB, or KJV as specified in each piece. All citations are verified against primary sources prior to publication.
• Academic citations are verified against the original published works. I do not cite secondary sources as if they were primary. Where a secondary source is used, it is identified as such.
• Historical and factual claims are checked against verifiable sources. Where I am expressing opinion, interpretation, or theological argument rather than established fact, I make the distinction clear in the text.
• Corrections. If a factual error is identified in a published article, I will correct it and note the correction at the bottom of the relevant piece. Theological developments or position updates that materially revise a published argument will be addressed in new writing or in updated editions, not silently edited.

Commercial & Affiliate Disclosures

As of the date of this disclosure, the following commercial policies apply to all content on brunomiranda.net.

• There are no affiliate links on this website. No link directs to a product or service from which I receive a commission.
• There are no paid endorsements, sponsored content, or paid placements in any article, theological piece, or professional description on this site. If this changes, any sponsored content will be clearly and prominently labeled as such.

Professional Conduct Standards

These are the standards I hold myself to in all professional, ministerial, and academic contexts. I publish them publicly because accountability is most meaningful before a problem arises, not after.

• I engage theological disagreement on the basis of Scripture and argument, not on the basis of institutional authority, personal attacks, or social pressure.
• I do not misrepresent the positions of those I disagree with. Where I critique a theological framework, movement, or practice, I cite the specific sources I am engaging and allow readers to consult them directly.
• I do not accept speaking or consulting engagements where a conflict of interest — financial, relational, or institutional — would compromise the integrity of what I deliver. Where a relationship exists that could reasonably create such an appearance, I disclose it.
• I treat students, ministry colleagues, event organizers, publishing partners, and all professional contacts with honesty about what I can and cannot deliver. I do not overcommit or misrepresent my availability, expertise, or scope of service.
• I hold all personal and ministry information shared with me in confidence unless I have explicit permission to use it publicly or am legally required to disclose it.
• I do not use my platform — however large or small — to publicly shame, demean, or damage the reputation of individuals. Theological disagreement is published as theological disagreement, not as personal attack.
