There is a directory, which every Church possesses; an infallible rule there is, and a sure record of the Saviour's mind, by which every Church must be guided. Every Church has the Bible - the Spirit's register of the will of Christ; and of it we can say that it "is profitable," - not to individual believers alone, but to Churches collectively, and to their office-bearers as such, - "for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
Andrew Gray (The duty and the liberty of a Christian church)
