Before I accept your Charter, I had some questions and comments about the conditions.
I agree to it.
But I also believe God is Lord and Creator of the entire Universe. In fact, if it weren't for the latter, I wouldn't believe the former.
So, while of course you needn't - it's your server, after all - I might suggest you also say He is Lord of All Creation as well. Something to the effect of "He died for you, and for all men". You see what I mean? "Personal Saviour" just seems a bit too "me-centred" and not so God-centred.
Whose interpretations?
This passage of Revelation seems to refer to the Revelation itself, not to the Bible. While I don't disagree with your conclusion, you are drawing the right conclusion from the wrong passage. A better verse would be Matt 5:18 (neither a jot nor a tittle).
And while I do agree with it, I also believe in Tradition (note the captial T) which Jesus passed on to His Apostles orally while He was still on Earth before His Ascension, but which was not codified in Scripture and was only written by later disciples, like Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp of Smyrna. By that definition, would I be in disagreement with your charter?
No contest there. I prefer Matthew 16:16, myself, but that passage works, too.Jesus Christ is the son of God. (Matthew 3:16-17)
Accepting Jesus Christ as one's personal Lord and Savior is the only way to enter heaven. (John 14:6)

The Bible is inspired by God, and its perfection is inherently passed from God to its human authors, and from those authors to its interpretations. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Whose interpretations?
The Bible is a single volume, without sequel or addendum. (Revelation 22:18-19)
