1. Jesus Christ has complete authority in religious matters.

2. Jesus placed that authority into his spoken Word.

3. Jesus passed that Word along to the apostles by the Holy Spirit. They wrote it down, it has been preserved in the New Testament, and it will judge us in the Last Day.

4. The New Testament is sufficient.

5. The words of God must be respected.

6. CHRIST'S WILL BECAME EFFECTIVE AT HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS.
   
   1. And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. -- Hebrews 9:15-17
      
   2. If we can solve any religious question --
      
      1. Whom shall we ask?  Jesus.
         
      2. In what book shall we look?  The New Testament.
         
      3. In what place in the New Testament?  After Christ's death.
