Neither unwritten oral tradition or church leadership is given this manner of testimony, with the former being amorphous, while Scripture is wholly inspired and testable, and the latter is dependent on Scriptural substantiation.

Nor was an infallible magisterium necessary for writings of God to be recognized and established as being so, and which, as with true men of God, was essentially due to their unique and enduring qualities and Divine attestation given them.
