2. Since therefore this custom was broken through, a custom most excellent and most useful; (for it was a foundation of love, and a comfort to poverty, and a corrective of riches, and an occasion of the highest philosophy, and an instruction of humility) since however he saw so great advantages in a way to be destroyed, he naturally addresses them with severity, thus saying: Bu…

2. And God has set some in the Church: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, various kinds of tongues. Thus what I spoke of before, this also he now does. Because they thought highly of themselves in respect of the tongues he sets it last every where. For the terms, first and secondly, are not used by him…

I exhort you to do nothing out of strife, but according to the doctrine of Christ. When I heard some saying, If I do not find it in the ancient Scriptures, I will not believe the gospel; on my saying to them, It is written, they answered me, That remains to be proved. But to me Jesus Christ is in the place of all that is ancient: His cross, and death, and resurrection, and the …

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. The false apostles taught that besides faith in Christ, it is necessary also to observe the works of the law. Paul says that there is no other Gospel. He does not say that the Galatians have received another gospel, but that they have been removed from the right gospel to…

'Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead.' See Gal. i. 1. Paul begins by defending his apostleship, because the false apostles had said he was not a true apostle, not having been called by Christ Himself. They claimed that Paul was merely a disciple of the apostles, and therefore his teaching was inferi…

5. And thus what Moses taught, that Abraham observed; and what Abraham observed, that Noah and Enoch acknowledged, discriminating pure from impure, and becoming acceptable to God. For Abel too in this way witnessed, knowing what he had learned from Adam, who himself had learned from that Lord, who said, when He came at the end of the ages for the abolishment of sin, I give no n…

We believe that this Holy Scripture contains the will of God completely and that everything one must believe to be saved is sufficiently taught in it. For since the entire manner of service which God requires of us is described in it at great length, no one—even an apostle or an angel from heaven, as Paul says—ought to teach other than what the Holy Scriptures have already taug…

We believe that we ought to discern diligently and very carefully, by the Word of God, what is the true church—for all sects in the world today claim for themselves the name of "the church." The true church can be recognized if it has the following marks: The church engages in the pure preaching of the gospel; it makes use of the pure administration of the sacraments as Christ …

We affirm that the Scriptures are the supreme written norm by which God binds the conscience, and that the authority of the Church is subordinate to that of Scripture. We deny that Church creeds, councils, or declarations have authority greater than or equal to the authority of the Bible.

Tertullian insists that novelty is the hallmark of heresy, while antiquity is the mark of truth. If anyone preaches a gospel other than what was originally delivered, let him be accursed. The faith was "once for all delivered to the saints," and no later innovation can improve or replace it.
