"Missionaries of one particular cult say that their scriptures are authoritative because they stem from God. Its elders usually insist that the Holy Spirit will ’move in the heart’ to confirm the veracity of their teaching.

Such counterclaims to authority are clearly wrong." [Note: Towner, 1-2 Timothy . . ., p. 52.]
