[Petrosius]

And where in the Bible does it say that it is the only source of our knowledge of God? The Bible says that God established a church under the stewardship of the Apostles. The Bible says that the Apostles gathered other men as bishops, presbyters and deacons to share in this office of stewardship. Where in the Bible does it say that this visible leadership no longer exercises the authority that was given to it by Jesus Christ?

Actually the bible does not teach "apostolic succession" at all ...It does not teach a papacy

The church of Christ is not a building, or a denomination ... The church is composed of those that are in Christ, that are saved by the blood of Christ..
