I guess I forgot to say why I was asking these questions......

Been reading a Critique of the Evangelical Doctrine of Solo Scriptura by Keith Mathison

and pondering regula fidei, The Rule of Faith.

Mathison makes a great argument that our ecumenical councils and their rulings are essential for the Rule of Faith and such.....

Otherwise the canon of scripture is lost and most orthodox understanding of christianity which leads to mayhem, Autonomy, Individualism, etc.....


But I also know that councils err and have erred and will continue to err... So I guess I am trying to figure out if there is a difference between the ecumenical early councils and more regional definitive Confessions like the Westminister, etc....

What should completely bind the Christian? Ecumenical Council Decrees?
