“Do not say, we have the reformers…”

You hypocrites and unbelievers, who warned you to flee from the wrath of God? Do not say, “We have the reformers as our fathers.” I tell you, God can raise up reformers from the rocks. But do you believe the word of God, and take your doctrines from the Scripture alone? Produce doctrines and policies consistent with your claim that you have faith in Jesus Christ. He said that anyone who has faith in him will perform the same miracles that he did, and even greater miracles. Teach what he says. Make that your creed. He said that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive the same power that he used to work miracles, and then you will be his witnesses to the entire world. If you call him Lord, then do what he says. Make it your mission to preach the gospel with healing, prophecy, and signs and wonders.

When I come at you with a divine doctrine, from the Scripture alone, a thousand reformers and creeds cannot save you. Stand up to me with a divine answer, or admit defeat and repent. If you harden your heart, you will burn in hell. Do you say that God is your Father? If God is your Father, then you would believe what the Son said about miracle faith. And you would support anyone who repeats the Son’s teachings. But if you make it even an official doctrine to contradict him, who is your father? Tell me, if you nullify the word of God with the traditions of your elders, then who is really your father? The truth is that if you can come at me with an argument from divine revelation or even from simple logic, you would have already done it. The appeal to a human authority is also an admission of defeat and sin.
