Who or what carries binding authority in the Christian life?

Let me tell you whom. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself and His Word, the Holy Bible. NOT MAN!!! I go by what the Bible says to do. I do not go by what a man, local church, or my domination, which is Southern Baptist, says do. If what they say conflicts with my Bible, then I ignore them and go by what the Scriptures tell me to do. I answer to Him and Him only. Not men, a church group here or a domination.

Sorry, but that is not what the Bible says:

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

The Bible says the Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth. Now all you have to do is make sure you have the right Church!
