How do we know that the teachings of the church are true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of the church's teachings is affirmed through adherence to the gospel as revealed in Scripture.

The teachings of the church must be based on the gospel as revealed in the New Testament. In Revelation 2:2, the church in Ephesus is commended for testing false apostles and holding firmly to the truth. This testing of teachings against Scripture is essential for maintaining sound doctrine. The apostle Paul highlights this in Galatians 1:8, where he warns against anyone preaching a different gospel. Therefore, true doctrine is validated when it aligns with the core truths of the faith as established in Scripture, and when believers critically engage with what is preached.
