While the scriptures' meaning is mediated through many kinds of subordinate authority - such as the ordinary teaching offices of a denominated church, the ecumenical creeds and the councils of the Catholic church, amongst others - in contrast rejects any original infallible authority other than the Bible. In this view, all subordinate authority is derived from the authority of the scriptures, and is therefore subject to reform when compared to the teaching of the Bible. Church councils, preachers, Bible commentators, private revelation, or even a message allegedly from an angel or an apostle are not considered an original authority alongside the Bible in the approach.
