Do you believe the New Testament to be fully complete in its present form? That is to say, do you believe that the current Bible (especially the New Testament) contains all the books that God saw fit to include for the spreading of His Gospel until His second coming? Also, do you believe anyone after the original apostles would have authority to declare correct doctrine or canon?
