02.04 - Authority
D. Authority That which the Scriptures proclaim, they speak with the ab-solute authority of “Thus saith the Lord.” Since it is the Word of the Almighty God, it is binding upon all men (Matthew 21:42; Matthew 22:29-32; John 5:39; cf. Matthew 5:17-18; Matthew 26:53-54). It is, there-fore, man’s absolute authority for faith and practice.
