Ultimacy and Infallibility

“The Bible teaches us that God has established religious authorities other than Scripture (the church and parents being two obvious examples), but these other authorities are not ultimate and they are not infallible. Ultimacy and infallibility are reserved to Scripture alone. Unlike the Roman Catholics we must not elevate other authorities to the level of Scripture, and unlike modern evangelicalism we must not deny these subordinate authorities which Scripture establishes” (Mother Kirk, p. 37).
