Reformers tend to be a tad more judicious in their treatment of God's word.I wonder if this a result of not believing one person has all the answers and is infallible. If we don't believe in the idea that one man, or group of men, have all the answers we have to check doctrine and belief against what Scripture tells us.

I think it also comes from the Hebrewic tradition which encourages discussion and debate, knowing that God’s word is perfect and can ultimately be understood if read correctly.
