Thank you for this reminder. We should always be alert, examining ourselves to see if we truly are of the faith of the apostles, and check the doctrines of others, to see if they are supported by Scripture. Often we are called upon to explain spiritual matters. Bringing Scripture to the conversation is best, but we also explain God's truth in a more systematic way than how it was written by the apostles. This is where Doctrine comes in that Paul often spoke about. The leaders and teachers of the churches didn't just quote Scriptures (O.T.) nor simply read Paul's letters. They expounded on the Scriptures and on what was in Paul's letters to build the believers up in the faith, not just as a matter of believing in Jesus and then no further growth, but to first lay a foundation from Jesus' or Paul's teachings and then to build upon that foundation the truths Jesus and Paul addressed in the situations they were in when the matter was spoken about.
We grow up by using our faith and also our minds, developing our understanding of truth through using our God-given intellect, ability to reason and make logical conclusions, analyzing what we hear, synthesizing aspects of the truth into a coherent understanding of the essential truths of the faith once and for all passed down through the apostles. It is for this purpose that we have these abilities to use them to apprehend the truth that we all must have to rightly follow after God. But an unregenerated person cannot apprehend it because our intellect must be enlightened by the work of the Holy Spirit, which He certainly wishes to do in believers.
We believe by faith, confess by will, and grow by sound teaching.
