Dr. M.A. Petillo & Reformed Baptist Preacher
1. Let no one
speak in the church as regarding tongues because of the unaddable divine
revelation of Scripture (the command of St. Paul on tongues and apostles ended
with the apostolic completion of the New Testament Scriptures that simply means
divine revelation has supernaturally ceased in terms of everything pertaining
to everlasting life and Christian godliness in the unmatchable written Word).
2. Let there be
no special revelation of prophet but the divine and written Scriptures alones
in the Old & New Testament regarding justification by faith alone and godly
Christian living.
3. Let there be
no divine revelation that is addable to the divine Scriptures but the divine
things that confirm Scripture that are outside of the Bible do not add to
Scripture but back up the written Word that does not mean extra-biblical revelation
but a word that confirms the divine Scriptures but each case of God’s
providential care in divine matters must be examined in the utmost degree to
the honor of the excellence of the discernment of Jesus Christ where we are
called to test the spirits, teachers, encounters, preachers, evangelists,
apologists, pastors, elders and bishops in light of the all-exclusivity of the
divine completion of the Scriptural canon (like what Dr. RC Sproul spoke of in
one of his lectures: namely, that an encounter with Jesus Christ is TRULY
rare).

women are to learn quietly in the church but be mothers at home with the
direction of the father to train up children in the way that they must go (tota Scriptura).

and the Lord takes away.
