CM-010 – WCF 1.10: When the Spirit Speaks – Scripture as the Supreme Judge

Westminster Confession of Faith 1.10

The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined; and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.


WCF 1.10 declares that the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture is the supreme judge in all matters of faith and practice. In this episode, Pastor Tim unpacks how this final paragraph not only concludes the doctrine of Scripture but also boldly counters Rome’s claim of ecclesiastical supremacy. He then brings it home to today — showing how even modern Christians can elevate other authorities over God’s Word, and calling us back to the Spirit speaking in Scripture as our final and faithful judge.
