He thought it was arrogant to think that way. So, I thought I would ask the forum how much stock y'all place in commentators. Do you refer to commentators such as Matthew Henry? How much stock do you place in commentators in the first place?
Commentators can offer valuable information on certain texts in the area of the historic context, sometimes the greek language and other areas. You do have to be careful though as not all commentaries will agree so obviously some may be biased towards their own doctrinal preference or theology

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
