Pastors in churches all had the Scriptures in their hands which they used to open the door to the kingdom of heaven to all who wanted to enter. Those were the keys and they still are. To those who claim to some other exclusive set of keys, I ask: Show us. Prove it. Otherwise: Whoso boasts himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain [Proverbs 17:20]

The Apostles dind't walk around with the Christian bible in their hands. They wrote the New Testament later on. So, what keys were they using then?

The NT says nothing of using the Scriptures as the key to heaven, but it says "whatever you bind shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loosen shall be loosened in heaven..."

The Apostles dind't walk around with the Christian bible in their hands. They wrote the New Testament later on. So, what keys were they using then?

You're right --- but they had been taught directly from the mouth of Word of God Himself --- and what they learned was passed down though those parchments that they subsequently laid their hands upons. And we have those keys of authority today passed down by the laying on of hands by faithful men throughout the generations.

The NT says nothing of using the Scriptures as the key to heaven, but it says "whatever you bind shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loosen shall be loosened in heaven..."

Oh really??? And just how do you know that Jesus actually said this if you don't have the Scriptures to tell you so. Show me evidence of those keys without the Scriptures ----
