-------------------
As Christians, we believe the Bible alone is our ultimate standard for truth and faith. Everything else โ creeds, confessions, church leaders โ only have authority because they faithfully reflect what Scripture teaches.
For example, the Nicene Creed is not equal to the Bible. The Bible stands above all. But because the Creed rightly summarizes key biblical truths, it still carries authority โ not over Scripture, but over us, since it helps keep our faith aligned with Godโs Word.
In the same way, church leaders (like elders) have authority, but itโs not their own. Their authority comes from and is limited by the Word of God.
So, while the Bible alone is our highest rule of faith, we thank God for faithful creeds and leaders who help us stay true to it.
