What biblical rule of order keeps a word from being used outside its context?
The biblical rule of order is that when a word is used in a particular way, it is never used out of that context. A term's established biblical usage governs its meaning, preventing interpreters from twisting verses to make them say something they do not say.
Les explains this while discussing the Israelites' baptism unto Moses, the spiritual food, and the spiritual drink from the rock. He notes the word "rock" is capitalized significantly because that rock followed them, and that rock was Christ. Then he points to Matthew 16, a portion he says has been twisted all out of context. The problem, he says, is that people do not maintain a biblical rule of order: when a word is used in a particular way, it is never used out of that context. He illustrates with Matthew 16:16, Peter's confession, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
