No article of faith may be based on any
noncanonical work, regardless of its religious value.
The divinely inspired and
authoritative books are the sole basis for doctrine and practice. Whatever complimentary support canonical
truth derives from other books, it in no way lends canonical value to those
books. The support is purely historical
and has no authoritative theological value.
The truth of inspired Scripture alone is the canon or foundation of the
truths of faith.
- From the book From God to Us: How We Got our Bible - by Norman Geisler and William Nix
