The Authority Of Holy Scripture
Some of the points covered in this sermon:
• Explaining how the apostles were responsible to oversee the completion of the Holy Scriptures as the final authority for the gospel witness
• Explaining the significance of the Tabernacle and Temple, along with the prophets of the Old Testament era, as it relates to the Old Testament scriptures
• Showing how the Lord’s people profited from the Old Testament scriptures
• Explaining the significance of the church, along with the apostles and prophets of the New Testament era, as it relates to the New Testament scriptures
• Showing the testimonies of Paul, Peter and John, each of whom acknowledged their mission to oversee the completion of the New Testament scriptures
• Explaining why it was necessary for Christ to endow the apostles with miraculous gifts, such as casting out devils, healing the sick, speaking with new tongues and having an immunity to venom and poison
• Aligning the biblical record of those who spoke with new tongues, with a timeline spanning 27 years
• Expounding 1 Corinthians 13, as in it Paul argues that new revelations such as ‘knowledge’ and ‘prophecies” will slowly fade away, as the New Testament scriptures are completed
• Showing how Paul also argues in the same passage, that speaking with new tongues will come to an abrupt stop (rather than slowly fading away)
• Showing how the timeline which strings together the biblical occurrences of those who spoke with new tongues, affirms that the exercise of the gift abruptly stopped in 57AD
