extrabiblical

doctrinal beliefs should be based only on what can be found in scripture without adding to or taking away from it.

in cases where extra-biblical material confirms scripture, great

in cases where extra-biblical sources add additional background details to something established in scripture, good to know, but should be considered as commentary and/or historical background.

anything not directly substantiated in scripture should be relegated to educated speculation.

throw out anything that contradicts scripture
