    Think he means that when can take the church fathers/creeds etc are sources to look at , but that all of those sources have to agree with the bible....

    To me, the OP seems to be steering towards more of a "high church" view of the Bible and sources such as traditions/church fathers etc are also to be considered!

    I believe that is rampant in many Baptist churches. Quite a few Baptists hold traditions of men as binding on being "right with God" that are not found in the Scriptures.

    My position, however, is that all secondary authorities must line up with scripture or else be discarded.

    So true... it's sad. This kind of thing becomes a new 'orthodoxy' in itself. Many Fundies seem to make this error. :tear:

    Sounds good to me but maybe there's a semantic issue... maybe there shouldn't be anything else considered as any type of authority when making a comparison to the way "scripture is our authority". Maybe we could just call them "time-tested-and-heretofore-reliable-preferences"?

    But if they are to line up fully with the bible, why have any of them?

    To provide valuable historical insight and confirmation of truth, and even new spiritual insight on old truths. Or would you discard all writings which provide that throughout history up to the present?

    No, just as long as NONE of them was used to prove or make doctrines apart from the Bible!
