There's nowhere in the Bible that it says everything of the faith is contained in the bible. Though it does say that we should cling to tradition even if not written "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessilonians 2:15
