Sola Scriptura

Sola scriptura is the third of the five solas. The key implication of the principle is that interpretations of how to understand and apply the Scriptures do not have the same authority as the Scriptures themselves; hence, the ecclesiastical authority is subject to correction by the Scriptures, even by an individual member of the Church

(Martin Luther said, "a simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it").

The intention of the Reformation was to correct the perceived errors of the Catholic Church by appeal to the uniqueness of theBible's authority and to reject added-on tradition as a source of original authority in addition to the Bible (which did not have any Biblical basis and/or contradicted with Scripture).

The Apostolic Church's teaching authority is in the Scriptures alone.

"The true rule is this: God's Word shall establish articles of faith, and no one else, not even an angel can do so." (Smalcald Article II, 15 - Martin Luther). (See Galatians 1:8).
