Sola Scriptura: The illumination of the creeds by the Holy Spirit ... Protestant/Reformed: Inward Witness Creedalists falsely believe creeds are "functionally equal" to scripture: The Holy Spirit is the ultimate criterion of truth, but He bears witness to the truth through this reciprocal relationship between Christian Scripture, the Christian Church, and the Christian creed. Each of these three relates to the other two in a unique way. The Scripture is the Spirit-inspired Word of God that bears witness to the truth of the regula fidei and bears witness to the identity of the Church. (The Shape Of Sola Scriptura, Keith A. Mathison, Reformed Protestant, 2001, p 267) "The question is not whether one will have a creed or not have a creed. The only question is what creed one will have. Creeds and confessions are necessary to a proper understanding of scriptural authority. Without the use of creeds, it is impossible to establish objective doctrinal boundaries within the church."

The Interactive Bible: The church described in the New Testament is the spiritual body of Christ. The Apostle Paul, speaking of Jesus Christ, says in Ephesians 1:22,23, "And gave him to be head over all things to the church which is his body". A body is a living organism. The church is divine in its origin, since it was built by Christ himself. Jesus told the Apostle Peter after Peter had confessed him to be the Christ, the son of the Living God, that he would build his church (Matthew 16:16-18). The church is both divine and human since it was originated by our ... On the divine side, of course, Jesus is the head of the church. The New Testament is very clear in setting out the qualifications of the men who are to guide the affairs of the church. There are two separate passages of scripture which give these qualifications.
