The Westminster Confession of Faith states that, "The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture, is the Scripture itself; and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.

[2] There is nothing controversial within the Reformed community about the above principles. Reformed believers all strive to be faithful to the principle of "the analogy of Scripture." |  |
