Scripture interprets Scripture

If you are a Congregationalist please note you are not alone:

"The Scripture is the best interpreter of Scripture, or the Spirit of God therein; nor are the church or its pastors, nor councils and popes, the infallible interpreters thereof; there is a private interpretation of Scripture, which every Christian may make, according to his ability and light; and there is a public one, by the preacher of the word; but both are subject to, and to be determined by the Scripture itself, which is the only certain and infallible rule of faith and practice." - John Gill, The Body of Divinity, Pg. 22-23

Stay congregational my friends.
